Conetop cans


A cone top (also called a cap-sealed can, cone-top, or conetop) is a type of can, especially a type of beverage can, introduced in 1935. Cone tops were designed in response to flat top beer cans as a hybrid between beer bottle and flat top can. Cone tops were especially attractive to smaller breweries which did not have the capital necessary to buy new canning machinery; cone tops could be filled on standard bottling equipment.

Because they were typically made with steel, beverage cans faded out with the advent of metal shortages during World War II. They were continued after the war, but fell out of use in 1960. They are now considered collector's items.
