Set of 12 Elvis beer cans.      "Rock 'n Roll" Brewing Company

Each 12 oz can features a different picture of Elvis, and has on the
side the words: A Tribute to "Elvis"
                Limited Collectors Edition
                King of Rock and Roll
The cans are unopened, aluminum, and have the old style pop-tab, but no
beer in them. No other words apear, and there are no dates or stamps of
being 'authorized' from Graceland or anything like that.   I bought them
probably about 10 years ago.  But I have no idea of their true age.
Any offers will be considered.  If you know anything more about them and
could tell me please reply.

        My grandmother had one like that my uncle sent back to her when he
was stationed in Alaska in the late 60's-early 70's. I was told that it was
thicker due to the extreme cold the soldiers would sometimes have to face and
bottled products that were sent (if there were bottled, usually they were
tinned) had to have thick glass to prevent cracking under the cold. Anyone
who has kept a bottle or can of cola in a freezer would agree they explode
rather violently.
        Unfortunately my uncle has been passed on for many years now and I
haven't seen the bottle in the longest. Coca-Cola does maintain a museum
somehwere here in the states and with a little luck you might find them and
they can help you out. They also have a website if you have the access.
