Can Openers

Wandering through some antique shops in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts last week, I found a nice box full of old openers including some old church key models. In the beer can museum, it's always fun to place the appropriate branded opener next to an old flat top beer can that required said opener. Two of the openers shown here are domestic and one is from South America. Before pull tab cans showed up, a lot of effort went into opening our canned beers!
