Here is a Sunshine Beer J-Spout Cone Top Can from the Barbey’s Inc. Brewing Company located in Reading, PA. This Sunshine Beer J-Spout Cone Top Can is from the mid 1930’s era and is in excellent condition for it’s age.
The difference between a j-spout and a regular cone top can is the age. J-Spout cans were some of the first cans to be produced in the mid 1930’s; eventually evolving to the standard cone tops in the late 1930’s. The reason cone tops cans were produced was because they could be run through a brewery’s existing bottling line without having to purchase new canning machinery and equipment.
This particular Sunshine Beer Cone Top Can was found in an attic in New Holland, PA with 4 other Sunshine Beer J-Spout Cone Top Cans in varying conditions. This is the only one that I kept for my collection.
