    Pull Tab Help

    i found an unusual pull tab today. I have never seen one like it. It has "S18B" stamped on it. I am very curious as to what it came from. Has anyone out there ever found one like this? i think it is a vintage pull tab. Thanks

    I think that it is an old beer can pull tab. I remember seeing something to that shape when I was a little bit younger than I am today. At first I was thinking Hamms but really do not know for sure.

    most people get depressed finding a pulltab
    but if i find those while water hunting - i know theres a chance that there could be older coins or gold there too
    cause if others missed those tabs over the yrs - they might have missed other stuff too

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    I hate finding tabs but I do like them if they are unusual. This is the first in my collection.

    Re: Pull Tab Help

    that type of pull tab is called a "zip tab" * it was in use during the silver coin years * 64 and earlier --finding them means folks were drinking beer there during the "silver coin years" -- ps drunk folks often lose "pocket change" by sitting by a tree drinking beer (pocket spills) and by playing "rough house" games with freinds -- some pull tabs can help date a sites useage peroid and time frame of use. --therse "zip tabs" are exactly that type, (very limited time frame of use)
