Tru Blu Ale Opening Instruction Flat Top Can

Reference: USBCOI 806
Brewery: Northampton Brewing Co. Nothampton, Pennsylvania
Manufacturer/Plant: National Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa late 1930s
Contents/Type: 12 oz Instructional flat top beer can
Condition/Comments:  There are several early Tru Blu ale variations; all are rare, all scream “Art Deco,” all look great when found in clean indoor condition like this. But that’s the problem: even indoor versions are often blotted with humidity, and the wonderful contrast of green (or black) with metallic gold is lost, and the can loses some of its appeal. That is NOT the case here. This example exhibits only a light amount of humidity in the gold, and the green enamel paint is wholly intact. It’s a gorgeous color combination that makes this design—and this can in particular—really pop! The intense lighting significantly magnifies the humidity and the can looks even nicer in-hand. You could proudly display either side.
