how old is this HAMM'S BEER CAN?

it has the older style pull tab, this can was found in the ceiling of an old hospital, left behind by workers many years ago

by the style of the can, it looks like it must be from the late 1960's? made of tin [not aluminum]

brewed & packed by Theo. HAMM BREWING CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF T.H.B. CO.

The timeframe is 1964-1972. Hamm closed the San Francisco brewery in 1972.

That is pretty much the same timeframe for the aluminum topped steel can with the pulltab.

Looks like your can had a zip top, which was the first pulltab. Early 60's I believe.
