Lone Star Beer Flat Top Can

Lone Star Beer Oklahoma City Can

The Lone Star Beer Flat Top Can with Oklahoma City markings represents an interesting chapter in the mid-century expansion of one of the Southwest's most recognized brewing brands. While Lone Star is overwhelmingly associated with its home base in San Antonio, Texas, the company expanded northward in 1960 by acquiring the Progress Brewing Company facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

This 12-ounce flat top container features Lone Star's traditional shield logo and signature branding, distinguished by the mandatory brewery statement concluding with "...OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA". Because the Oklahoma City plant operated for only about a decade before closing in 1971, cans bearing the Oklahoma mandatory text were produced in substantially smaller numbers than their San Antonio counterparts.

Among breweriana collectors, state-specific brewery mandatory variations provide essential documentation of post-war brewery consolidations and satellite packaging operations. This can remains a notable prize for both Oklahoma regional specialists and general Lone Star brand collectors.
