Origin Of Aluminum Cans-www.china-tin-boxes.com

The first aluminum cans required what was known as a “church key” for opening the end of the can prior to consumption. As legend has it, the inventor of the pull tab, Ermal Cleon Fraze, found himself without a church key while on a family picnic. He resorted to piercing his beer can on the fender of his car, and in the process lost aluminum cans much of the can’s contents. Fraze, who owned the Dayton Reliable Tool Company, set about devising what would become the pull tab aluminum cans.
