Kamm's Pilsener Light Beer Cone Top Can

Kamm's Pilsener Light Cone Top

Produced by the historic Kamm & Schellinger Company of Mishawaka, Indiana, the Kamm's Pilsener Light Beer cone top is a notable piece of mid-century Midwest breweriana. Kamm & Schellinger traced its industrial roots along the St. Joseph River back to 1853, maintaining a brewing presence until operations ceased in 1951.

The label design prominently showcases the Kamm's banner and often incorporates distinctive checkered or banded motifs alongside the heritage declaration, "Brewery In Continuous Operation Since 1853".

Collectors document multiple variations of this cone top across different formats, including Crowntainer designs and j-spout styles, with print runs featuring both Internal Revenue Tax Paid (IRTP) mandatory tax wording and later non-IRTP releases.

The Mishawaka facility where these cans originated holds significant historical importance; the surviving 19th-century brewery complex was later adapted as the 100 Center Complex and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
