here is some more pictures of the cans i found this weekend at same dump site .

kind of rusted and in beat up condition but all 3 are flat top cans

7 up " fresh up with seven up " , but it was lying outdoors so in rough shape but still has some colour .

Canada dry - Wink . have found this can before but pretty sure others were all pull top not flat top .has a fair bit of the original green and yellow colour on front with some damage on back

Patio Root Beer which is one i have not found before . can't read alot of the can , but says Root Beer on front and side . back really beat up but neat to see an example .

Tough can to find is the Wink, the Patio is much more common in a pull top.
Great stuff!

Have you seen the Patio in a flat top with this colour scheme? I couldn't find any examples of it pictured online, none on canmuseum.

Yes, thing is they do not fade and erode like you would think. I have my PT on canmuseum. I do not have the RB in flat top, but I do have the orange in flat top and pull top. If you look carefully at the Patio is is still dark like once was, I've been fooled before thinking I've found a new variation. That is not the case here.

Oh wow I see what you mean, yeah I would never have thought the white would turn brown and the brown would turn white, but I see it now!

Yes because the first color down was white then maybe the blue, then brown, then white again. I guess the order of paint application has everything to do with how the can ends up fading in this fashion....it's pretty fascinating!
