Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

Daniel,
I think you just found a SUPER killer can. Its hard to tell but that silver looks metallic and not enamel. which would make that the 4th known according to the OI book(if metallic)! Even if its enamel its still a very tough can.....now go find more!

Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

also it should say "made in the former hauck brewery" right under the word beer. There is a version which is even tougher(1 known) that dosnt have that but the word "beer" is set lower on the can and yours looks like its a little higher.

Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

hey Mike, I can make out "made in" under beer and
the grey paint does have a metallic shine to it,made
me think it was silver at first. also has a one panel o/i. after can dried off the details became clearer.
WOW!


Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

Cool. The best way to describe the difference is metalic will look chrome and the enamel will look silver/grey like on pabst cans. Like steve said in the other forum dont leave any cans behind...which i dont think your doing anyway...

Daniel,
As a collector of Cincinnati Flats, I am truly impressed by your find. Georgia seemed to be an outlet for some tough Cincinnati cans. Keep looking!!
If you find anymore, keep me in mind. Will trade out of my collection for tough Cincinnati flats.

Lovegun, Alabama is also good for finding Ohio cans. I've found a few there. LEON.

Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

hey, gonna post pics. of brands in New Board.
have found a few in same dump and thought you guys might like to see how far down south they showed up.

Re: Red Top o/i dumper question

Leon, your right about Alabama. Ive seen quite a few with the Alabama tax stamp over the years. Makes me wish I had done some digging when I did my basic at Fort Gordon back in the 70""s!
