Not to be mistaken for the common Altes pull tab, this is USBC 33-7 and listed at $1000+ in the book and is the best known example of 3 total indoor examples known to the hobby. There is also one offgrade can known. This can was recently discovered in the Detroit, Michigan area in a 1970’s Collection, having been hidden away from the hobby for some 30+ years.The can is in very nice condition showing surface imperfections including scratches. It will likely be a very long time before another example of this can arises for sale, if it happens at all. I believe this to be the first time an example of this can has ever been offered on ebay. A True “Holy Grail” can for the Zip Tab, Altes, and Michigan Beer Can Collecting Specialties.
