Question: In the Brewing Industry a six pointed "Star" represents "Purity" What do each of the six point represent?

 

The White Schells, center can third row was only in production for four days. Schell’s reduced costs by discontinuing using the colors of the can on the left. Upon viewing the ”White” can, the brewery stopped using the white color and the can changed to black and silver can on the right. 

This happened during the collecting craze of 1970’s. So many of the “White Shells” were saved and thus this very short produced can is not rare. Schell Brewing is the second oldest family owned brewery in the country - only Yuengling is older.
