Gold Seal Beer Cone Top Can

Mutual's Gold Seal Cone Top Can

Produced by the Mutual Brewing Company in Ellensburg, Washington, the Gold Seal Beer cone top is an important artifact of Pacific Northwest brewing history. Mutual Brewing Company was operated by brothers George and Elmer Williams, who acquired the regional rights to the established Gold Seal brand following the closure of Hemrich brewing operations.

Manufactured by the Continental Can Company, the container showcases the classic Gold Seal emblem with bold typography tailored for distribution across Washington state and regional markets. Containers from this era feature the "Internal Revenue Tax Paid" (IRTP) declaration alongside regional alcohol control statements, notably the "Does Not Contain More Than 4% Alcohol By Weight" disclaimer.

Among breweriana collectors, variations are known to exist, exhibiting differences in mandatory text layout, alcohol statement phrasing, and border details. In addition to the standard twelve-ounce size, the brewery also issued the design on larger quart-sized containers. Because Mutual Brewing operated for only a relatively short timeframe in Ellensburg, containers bearing this specific brewery mandatory remain highly prized regional collectibles.
