Old Beer Cans & Breweriana for Sale • Archives for Research • Free Appraisals
Reference: USBC 164-4Business Name: Free State Brewery Corp, Baltimore, MarylandManufacturer/Plant: CrownDate of manufacture: circa 1940sCanning Code: n/a Contents/Type: 12 ozCondition/Comments: This can is quite clean despite first impressions, with just a little humidity in the metallic gold. Even the spout has a lot of color on it. What is unusual is the manner in which it has aged: the blue is the lightest, most affected color, whereas red and gold are usually the first to fade from prolonged light exposure. So this paint was likely altered chemically rather than from light, perhaps from an airborne element or some alternate use the can was put to. Also has some paint spatters on the right side and bottom. Tough label. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
