A cone top (also called a cap-sealed can , cone – top , or conetop) is a type of can , especially a type of beverage can , introduced in 1935. Cone tops were designed in response to flat top beer cans as a hybrid between beer bottle and flat top can .
Certain brands and styles of beer cans are especially valuable because of their rarity. Steel Canvas, a shop specializing in vintage beer cans , reports that valuable cans include rare examples like Playmate and Jame’s Bond’s 007. On the other hand, common cans like Billy Beer and MASH Beer aren’t worth much.

Ring pull tabs were used until 1975. Early tabs were quite sharp, and sometimes cut fingers or toes when stepped on at the beach or while camping. In 1964.
The consumer would open the can by depressing both buttons, which would result in two holes . The small hole would act as a vent to relieve internal pressure so the larger button could then be pressed down to create the hole used for consuming the drink.
If the beer can is not on the list then the can likely has a value of about $1.00. Almost all aluminum cans have no collectible value . It is not uncommon to find pull tabs that are mistake cans (ie missing a color).
Look along the seam for the year on most Schlitz cans. Tax Statements: Look and see if there is a tax statement on the can , along the lines of “Internal Revenue Tax Paid” or “Withdrawn Free of Internal Revenue Tax” if so, then the can dates before March 1950. Before that date brewers had to include a tax statement.

Aluminum cans bring packaging benefits as well. They are easily formed, resist corrosion and will not rust. Cans made from aluminum easily support the carbonation pressure required to package soda and withstand pressures of up to 90 pounds per square inch.
