...prized artifact was made by Manhattan Premium Beer, Al Capone's old brewery, and depicts the New York skyline against a metallic orange sky. Other esoterica range from the cone-topped Kopper Kettle (vintage 1936-40) to a sexy, green-eyed Playmate can that was withdrawn after Hugh Hefner threatened legal action and the james Bond 007 Special Blend that was marketed for only six months by Baltimore's National Brewing...
