About Vintage Beer Cans

The beer can came onto the market about 1935, in two varieties: spout (or cone) top, which more closely resembled a bottle, and flat top, which was easier to ship in quantity and thus had cornered the market by the 1950s. Cone tops are therefore highly collectible, as are novelty cans and those from specific brands and breweries.
