Bidspirit auction | Hampden Ale Flat Tops Lot

Hampden Ale Flat Tops Lot of 3 - Brewer/Business Name: Multiple brewers, Willimansett, Massachusetts Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co. Date of manufacture: circa 1950s Canning Code: n/a USBC reference: USBCOI reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h. Comments/description: Three Hampden labels include 1940s IRTP variant 79-33 from Hampden, 1950s L79-34 variation with unlisted Hampden-Harvard mandatory, and 1960s aluminum soft top flat top 79-36 from Hampden-Harvard with metallic silver trim. The 1950s flat is the real winner in this lot, with the best condition and likely the scarcest with its H-H mandatory. We find the Ale label is more common with a Hampden mandatory - the opposite of what USBC has for its red Beer mate.
