Thanks.. It's a pic from his collection... I'll see if he has any more of that carrier... that he'd be interested in letting loose of.
And yes that is a can.... He's a great guy... his family had a Coke bottling plant up north
He has a great collection of Coke and smalls from this brand as it was a local.
You have any root beer floor model coolers?... My son (and me) would love to find one.

Eric do you have any info of when Ol' smoothie started and stopped production
? Also it's very cool that your friends grandfather started the company.

Regarding "Twang" (which I never heard of until now) I couldn't find a photo of a six-pack carton, but I did stumble across the sign below - along with some accompaning information that said the company went "Defunct" (interesting word that means "out of business") in the 1950s. And that related items of the brand were considered hard to find, if not rare. The sign below sold at auction in 2006 for $50.00. Apparently there were two different "Twang" bottles, with the one of a boy shooting an arrow at a target being the most popular and valuable of the two.
