As I previously mentioned, we're trying to date the old blowdown cabin on the property by dating some of the many beer cans and whiskey bottles we found when tearing it down. Here's some photos of the can
The 'church-key' opening on top puts this can around the early 60's, since the pop top wasn't invented until 1962. Aluminum cans were first rolled out around the same time.
Another artifact was a bottle of "Old Quaker" rye whiskey. From what I could find on the internet, it looks like this bottle is probably from the early 60's as well. Apparently, it was rot gut whiskey. One of the few brands to survive prohibition. I checked ebay, but it look like the bottles are only worth about $10-20.
