Michigan Beer Cans - Version 1.6 : 04/25/2006

Just when I thought the number of unknown Michigan variations was ramping down to a trickle/stop, eleven new canning code variations have now been photographed, as well as couple of tough photographs able to be updated with much better examples. Major thanks to Alex Draper and Leon Hampton mailing cans to be photographed. The list of believed to exist but not yet photographed is now down to just 43 variations!
