Remarks: "Best's Hapsburg Brand Quality Lager Beer. Circa: Mid 1941. This American Can Company, 12 ounce container, lists 2 Pats.- Others Pending and was Brewed and Canned by Best Brewing Company of Chicago; Chicago, Illinois. This is a similar package design as seen on the previous page (USBC-OI 107) with, however; a couple of significant changes. Notice this package lacks the phrase "(Nearly a half century)" on the right side panel, and has an overall metallic finish. This package was produced in celebration on the company's 50 year anniversary of it's 1891 establishment date. This exceptionally fine, Grade 1/1+ example is one of only four quality examples known to the author, along with seven or so lesser condition examples existing also. Rarity Rating: R-9/R-8."
