Reference: USBC 171-15Brewery: Keeley Brewing Co., Chicago, IllinoisManufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.Date of manufacture: circa 1950sCanning Code: n/a Contents/Type: 12 ozCondition/Comments: This can COULD be a color variant with darker satin gold trim (versus bright metallic), as there is not a trace of bright metallic anywhere. Though it is likely gold metallic that has tarnished, the toning is so consistent and even that is impossible to say definitively. Note that because the light-colored center oval IS darkened slightly from tarnish, it is highly likely that the gold is too. That said, the overall condition and presentation are quite good and there are few marks. There is a dent that affects the right half of the display face. The spout and both rims have been hand painted. There is a drop of brown paint at bottom front. We do not believe this is attempted touch-up as it would represent a very poor color match. This is the non-IRTP version of this label, with no alcohol statement. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
