    This beer can was found in our attic the other day when we were having it cleaned out and re-insulated. The house was built in 1948. The cool thing is that my wife's father played baseball for a semi pro team that was sponsored by Eastside Beer in LA back in the 40's.
    How would I be able to tell the year of this can? The number on the bottom says 848B. Does that mean August 1948?

      It has the IRTP (Internal revenue tax paid) statement on it,which dates it to pre 1951,so 1948 is probably right.This can has a book value of 55.00 in the USBC guide-nice find!
