Lumpy, I thought the center one was pretty cool, but I now see that the JFO would consider it a reject :0 It's for water, not a brewery!
Not all that bad Beaux Purdy. True JFO only lists Brewery openers, but if you look on the site, you will see links to other advertisers openers; cola, water, liquor and the like. That is a great opener, any collector, encluding myself, has to have it for the graphics.
