Reference: USBC 174-18
Business Name: Star Brewing Co., Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Canning Code: n/a
Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: Top grade example of this scarce label, we believe among the best 2 examples. Exponentially more difficult to find as a clean indoor can. Note that this is the rarer high profile variant of this design. Minor blemishes include some dimpling on the scratch at the top of the left side, surface scratching near the rim on the same side, some very light scour marks visible in the red, and a small area of wrinkling on the red stripes on the right side. Gold metallic is unusually strong on this one and the display is excellent, lacking the little white nicks that are almost always present in the green on even the best examples. Looks fabulous on the shelf. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
