Business Name: Commonwealth Brewing Corp., Springfield, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: National Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Canning Code: n/a
Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: USBC L35-15 ACTUAL OI 76. Rare R9 can! This is the ACTUAL specimen pictured in USBCOI on page 76 and is one of only four known on-grade examples according to the author. Note the enamel green and silver finish. Also NOTE this can has black shading as indicated for OI 77...likely an error in USBCOI. Has some insignificant canning dings at the rims and small handling dings on the seam and one OI panel that may not show clearly in the photos. Very attractive design when this clean. Top lid likely replaced, perhaps very slightly (1/4 rim) short. Rims cleaned. Beautiful can. We are aware of no better example! All items are original unless otherwise noted.
