You can see a Pearl-branded one (from the '70's) and an example from an mid-1980's Anheuser-Busch draught beer guide here https://sites.google.com/site/jesskidden/ab <br /><br />In NY State in the 80's when their bottle deposit law went into effect, A-B was encouraging the use of those containers for bars which didn't want to bother with bottle returns for their take-out beer.<br /><br /> The older cylindrical containers with slip-on lids, once very prevalent in NJ before the Blue Laws were changed in the '70's, are even older - I've found reference to them in the pre-Prohibition era.JessKiddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957063630653714731noreply@blogger.com
