This was the late 60's... Salmon cannery, Kenai Pensulia in Alaska, Yep 3
piece cans, like old soup cans, top and bottom were the same piece, only
difference was the batch lot number that got stamped in the tops...

In the 40's and 50's here in Monterey "Sardine Capitol of the World",
AmCanCo had can factory that feed stamped 2 piece cans to all the local
canneries. IIRC one or two of these local canneries used some 3 piece cans,
and no I never worked the canneries here's, by the 60's all but one had
closed.

This was a three piece can? Can't imagine it being the modern two piece
can. Tell us more.
