Brewer/Business Name: Gulf Brewing Co., Houston, Texas
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
Canning Code: n/a
USBC reference: USBCOI reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Nice run of five different GP labels here: 74-10, 74-12, 74-13, 74-14 , and 74-15. The last two have GP vanity lids intact on top. These are somewhat tough as all-original indoor cans, since both labels are frequently found with replaced lids on one end or the other. 74-10 is the IRTP version. It has a replaced bottom on which BOB MYERS 1972 is written. The 2-faced silver can has had the lids, rims, and seam buffed. All cans are indoor examples that show varying degrees of age/wear. Please refer to photos for specific design details and to best evaluate condition. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
