Brewer/Business Name: Multiple breweries, Chicago, Illinois
Manufacturer/Plant: See comments/description
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Nice assortment of five different Chicago flat tops including Koenig Brau (USBC 88-31), Land of Lakes (USBC 91-1), Monarch (USBC 100-18), and two Prima variations (USBC 116-32 and 116-21 metallic). The Koenig Brau has a replaced top, is air sealed, and stands approximately two-thirds of a rim shorter than typical. The Monarch has seam denting and wrinkling on one face. The older solid blue Prima appears air sealed after losing its contents through a tiny pinhole in the bottom lid and displays very well on its best face despite scratching and denting on the reverse. The newer Prima is Excellent. Please review the photos for overall condition. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Cans may have minor canning dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
