$1000 Gettelman Natural Process Lager Beer Flat Top Can

Gettelman's Prized Flat Top

The Gettelman Brewing Company, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, produced this flat top can for their Natural Process Lager. While many vintage beer cans hold collectible value, the Gettelman Natural Process Lager flat top is particularly noteworthy because of an advertisement campaign that ran offering $1000 for its return. This offer boosted the can's collectibility significantly. Gettelman cans are not the only brands that offered monetary rewards for their return, but the name is certainly memorable because of the price.

This can is valuable because it is an uncommon can from a regional brewery, with the added element of the reward offered for its return. The condition of the can also plays a large role in its value.

Collectors should be aware of reproduction cans; look for signs of age like discoloration or slight imperfections to confirm authenticity.
