Wilshire Club Ale Flat Top Can
San Francisco • San Francisco, CA IRTP era, 1935 to 1950
Wilshire Club Ale Flat Top Can
Produced by the San Francisco Brewing Corporation in San Francisco, California, Wilshire Club Ale was one of several regional and secondary brand labels packaged by the brewery alongside its flagship Burgermeister line.
A defining feature of this label design is the American Can Company's "KEGLINED" trademark prominently displayed centered near the top rim, situated directly above the gothic-style "Wilshire Club" brand lettering. The central graphic consists of a circular heraldic crest framed by wheat ears and radiating sunbeams, showcasing a shield with stars and a stylized "WC" monogram. The lower chevron-patterned inset clearly designates the beverage with bold "ALE" typography accompanied by a standard "COOL BEFORE SERVING" serving prompt.
Documented in major breweriana opening instruction references under Kevin Lilek's comprehensive cataloging (entry 879), this ale container remains a prominent and sought-after piece of pre-war Northern California brewing history.
