Skol Lager beer coaster and can

The name is related to the Scandinavian toast “skål”. Logo is essentially Stencil but with the ‘R’ leg for the ‘K’.
From an estate sale in the neighborhood. Guy collected anything beer related. The most coasters I have ever seen in one place. Most were new and boring, but these were some of the more interesting ones. 10 for a dollar!

On the subject of ATF’s Stencil – apparently there is a lowercase glyph set that isn’t seen in the original release or any of the digitized versions. I remember seeing the set in a typography book.
Can’t find it right now though – I forgot what the name of the book was :p
Are you talking about a pre-digital design, by Gerry Powell? According to McGrew, the ATF release had no lowercase.
If it was a more recent book, maybe you saw CutOuts FLF? This 1990s digitization by Casady & Greene adds a lowercase.
Such a lowercase glyph set did exist prior to CutOuts FLF: Letraset’s dry transfer adaptation!
Ha, nice! I wasn’t aware of that. Apparently Letraset first issued an all-caps version in 1972 and then added the lowercase in 1980, see also the sheet dates documented by Letraslut. And CutOuts FLF then was based on the Letraset version.
