This is one of the cans I just got. Looks like a press in lid but the bottom also has a smaller press in lid.
Cool can! What does it say that it was for?
:notsure: never saw one like that
Can you post a relatively close pic of the seam that joins the body from top to bottom? I used to work in the can industry and might be able to identify the company and type of machine that made it.

It was for waterless hand cleaner. I should have read the instructions, that explains it all.
@gzig5 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/gzig5_1624) Here you go.
not much good if it's empty = blue bin :rofl:
Now you need to be on the lookout for the dispenser.

Thanks. That's a simple folded seam that may or may not contain a glue or sealer. Not surprising considering it was probably a low volume product. Don't see any indication in the lithography of the company. Often times they print the logo and the plant #. This probably came from a little mom and pop company with semi-automatic machines doing small quantity runs of a few pallets or a truckload at a time. Neat can.

That would be sweet but I expect it would be very hard to find.
I work in the can manufacturing industry and that's considered a 3 piece can. The side is called a locked side seam. It wouldn't hold any type of liquid because it would leak. Only a welded side seam can would hold some type of liquid.
