Ole '55 Twentieth Princeton Reunion Can

Princeton '55 20th Reunion Can

The Ole '55 Twentieth Princeton Reunion Can was produced by the West End Brewing Company of Utica, New York, to commemorate the 20th reunion of Princeton University's Class of 1955, held in 1975.

Princeton University classes have a long-standing tradition of ordering custom-labeled beer cans and drinkware for major milestone reunions. The Class of 1955 frequently celebrated under the moniker "Ole '55," featuring the theme across commemorative apparel, accessories, and event beverages. West End Brewing was a prominent producer of these collegiate specialty cans throughout the mid-to-late twentieth century, producing commemorative runs for various Ivy League alumni gatherings.

Manufactured in an aluminum drinking mug format with an open rolled rim, the container was designed to function directly as a personal drinking cup during reunion celebrations on campus. The 12-ounce can is popular among collectors of collegiate breweriana, university memorabilia, and regional New York brewing history.
