Michigan Beer Cans - Version 1.9 : 12/24/2011

In my five years of photographing Michigan beer cans only four examples of the red Altes 16oz zip tab surfaced, three off grade dumpers and the actual example from the Class Book of US Beer Cans. Sometime after 2008 a fifth example surfaced from an Ann Arbor collection, and now in 2011 a sixth, and certainly the best known example has appeared. This makes now six known examples of this very rare beer can.
