A beer can that found last summer.

This can was floating down the river when I was looking for bottles. It's a Michigan made beer so I thought I would post it. It has a 1937 patent date.

That's pretty cool. BTW big antique bottle show in Kalamazoo next weekend.

Really cool can! Kinda odd that a can that old would be floating down the river. Seems like it would have sank and just stayed down.

We call that a: upper college beer! Preferred beer in West Branch for 18-22 year Olds. Cheap and gets the job done! Looks like a pretty old can though.

Stroh's "the only fire brewed beer left in America" was their motto. It spells shorts backwards. My dad drank it, so guess what I drank my teenage years?

Makes you wonder what it's story is? My guess is that it came from a flooded house of a can collector.

Thanks for the comments. I think it was on the side of the river for years and the high water pulled it down stream. It wasn't in the river very long because there was no algae on it. The side reads Keglined which is a patented process of soldered seams and a lining of the can to stop the can from rusting with whatever contents that was put in it.
