Pulltab ID

I've seen a chart somewhere about IDing pulltabs and thought it would be interesting to figure out what this pulltab was from. I've never seen this style before, solid pull. It has a few things about it that probably make it unique like the 5 bumps on the pull section. Its an older beaver tail design. Anyone know of a site that has a list of pulltab styles to ID them? The only chart that I've seen only shows pulltabs with a cutout style pull, as noted this is a solid style. It VDI'ed pretty high on my MXT Pro with the D2 coil(the D2 VDI's high anyways), just below penny if I recall right.

Wow, that link provides just the info I was looking for. If you scroll down halfway on that page, it has a pic of 7 cans, The tab style I found is the middle can. Along side the pcture, referring specifically to the center can, it says....."Added smile beads around opening. mid 63." The info there also says the first pulltab design was used in 1962. Thats pretty interesting. Almost makes me want to keep one of each pulltab style to see how many different ones I can find.

Thanks for the info and link, Taz!
