This is one of 7 cans in the complete set giving the winner Margie 2 different ones. Can is off-grade. This is the winning can with miss Rheingold 1957 in red under her signature. Can't really see it too well. American rolled steel. Double panel. Top opened. Rust, fading and a few small holes. A filler until you can get a better one. A real clean would run well over a grand. *Miss Rheingold pageant competitions started in 1940 by Philip Liebmann. Each year one woman was chosen from 6 candidates to be the winner. You could vote for your favorite Girl Next Door at any bar, tavern or store that served the beer. The winners were not put on cans until this time. Jinx Faulkenburg was the first ever Rheingold Girl Next Door in 1940. The other 5 contestants for 1957 were: Diane Baker, Tami Conner, Beverly Christensen, Kathleen Wallace and Suzy Ruel.

On this Thursday, Americans could buy beer in flat top steel cans for the first time, but only in Richmond, Virginia. This was the first market selected by Gottfried Krueger Brewery to try what was at the time a serious gamble. Would consumers want canned beer after years of glass bottles? After more than 25 years of research and testing, brewers (and can companies) would finally have an answer. Turns out, yes, they did. They wanted it badly. Come summer, Krueger needed American Can, the company that perfected the technology, to produce 180,000 cans a day to meet the demand. The heavy cans could only be opened one way: with a church key, a long piece of metal, pointed at one end, that drinkers used to create two holes in the can's top. One was for drinking, the other to allow air to flow. Until the '60s, the flat top can dominated the market. You have been schooled by the beercanman.
