In this set the high profile cone and low profile cone are both very rare. The Low Profile is tougher. The low profile was made in the early 1940's the high profile in the mid 1940's. I suspect this label transitioned either during or after  W.W.II. (In general, only a few examples of breweries  with pre W.W.II high profiles are known to exist. For Continental Can Co. the transition and overlap spans several years with most breweries changing over W.W.II.)
