CONETOP . COM

Berghoff Beer, antique cone top beer cans that were produced starting in the 1935-6 era. The first cone top Berghoff made was the Flat Bottom Inverted Rib (FBIR) can followed by their second can, the Concave Bottom  Raised Rib (CBRR) can.  These first two state "Dortmunder Type" at the top of the shield. Although the pair generally resembles the  common later Low profile cone with "Established" on top of the shield, the early "Dortmunder Type" cans are rare. They did not have the national distribution that the cans that the "established" had. . Breweriana Brewery Buy Sell Trade Collector value beverage can

In this pair the FBIR  is much harder to find. and both should be considered Rare
