Default Beer can question

Hey PAPPY, I've been finding alot of cone top beer cans, unfortunatly all too rusted to have an label left. I was wondering from when to when was this type of container used? This may help me to date some of the rust piles I'm finding. Thanks Bob

BOB, Punch Top's or Cone Can's started around 1935 and lasted till about the early 1950's. Check out the following and it may help in your searches....PAPPY

By garsh, I never saw those before. They look like the cans that dry gas comes in. I guess I am not to old to learn something new. Thanks for the post.
