1ST PIC : IS THIS A OLD STYLE BEER CAN MISPRINT ??? 2ND PIC : IS A PABST BLUE RIBBON " NO OPENER NEEDED" CAN WITH 120v TOGGLE SWITCH LIGHTING SYSTEM. SEEMS TO BE A ROUND SPECIALTY BULB . THE FILAMENT IS LONG AND WIGGLES AROUND LIKE CRAZY INSIDE A GREEN COLORED BULB ........ IS IT AN ADVERTISER ITEM PRODUCE BY PABST MARKETEERS OR SOMETHING MADE IN A CRAFTERS BASEMENT.SMELLS LIKE IT COULD BE A LITTLE OF BOTH. ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED.THANKS FOR LOOKING.

The Pabst Light - these were made in the 1970's, lot's of different beers and sodas. The bulbs were available in different colors. The filament was supposed to wiggle like that - flicker effect. - You could also use them with regular bulbs.

I believe they were called "flicker lamps" - at least that's what we called them.
General merchandise - I had the Pabst like yours, my sister had a 7-up. - 1970's
