    Description

    This week I have Rainier Jubilee cans from several different series.  These include cans from Sicks' Rainier Brewing of both Seattle and Spokane, Sicks' Brewing and Malting of Seattle, and Sicks' Spokane Brewery.
    This one is from the Sicks' Spokane Brewery, and has the Salad/ Kitchen design.   The best guess is that it dates from around 1955.   It is missing the top and bottom.
    There is no rust at all, but some minor scratches as pictured.
    These cans have not seen the light of day in nearly 60 years. They are part of the famous wind tunnel find.  These include cans from 12 different Rainier series, with as many as six or seven colors. In some cases, I found just a single example of a specific can, and in a few cases I have a dozen or more.
    Many collectors have asked just how many different Rainier cans came out of the wind tunnel.  Almost all of the cans were from the 12-can Party Series. These included cans from  Sicks' Rainier Brewing of both Seattle and Spokane, Sicks' Brewing and Malting of Seattle, and Sicks' Spokane Brewery.  Cans from the second pair of breweries featurs almost a completely different set of colors from the first pair.  Depending where you draw the line between color variations, there are 15-20 different colors.  There are also some oddities including several cans with a silver band instead of gold.  Lastly, there are a six different cans from the six-can cartoon series.  All are 12 ounce cans- there isn't  a single 11, 15, or 16 ounce can in the entire bunch.  If you look for  "RainierBeerCans Inventory" you should find it, along with some places to buy a cold six pack.  If you add them up there are over 280 different cans that are pictured.
    Shipping to the US is .99 total and I combine shipping.    For international buyers, I will charge for the actual cost after combining the cans into a single package.  Thanks for looking.
