Sterling Pilsner Beer empty OI flat top beer can by Sterling Brewers, Inc., Evansville, IN. This is one of two different Sterling flat top beer cans I have listed this week. The brewery operated from 1933-1964. IRTP; bottom opened; opening instructions; clean & solid; clean lids, mostly clean seam; few scattered markings; grade one. An example is pictured on page 136-32 of the USBC book. A better example is pictured on page 774C of Kevin C. Lilek's United States Beer Cans with Open...ing Instructions (Supplement) book. This "Circa: Late 1945-1946" can shows a MPC "68-A" number. Lilek assigns the can a R-8/R-7 rarity rating. R-8 means "Very Rare: 6-10 known to exist" in grade one condition. R-7 means "Rare: 11-20 known to exist" in less than grade one condition. Bidding begins at $50 and shipping is free to anywhere within the United States. Thanks for Looking!!!! I am going on vacation but I trust you'll return to my listings when I return in early July.
