Evenly speckled copper is much more attractive than that with larger but more isolated splotchy humidity. Blemishes are clearly shown in the photos, with the debris on the Keglined logo some excess solder and green paint from some other use to which this can was put after emptying. Other solder remnants can be seen on opposite side of each rim. Can displays well under normal lighting. This is the ONLY example of this can we have had.
