Condition/Comments: Sterlings first Ale label from circa 1938 and very rare! A highly illustrative can that displays very well. There are some scattered spots and marks that are nicely camouflaged by the woodgrain background. More are present in the yellow on the face and the OI panels, and there is a splotch in the center of the seam that is the origin of discoloration and oxidation to the seam and areas of paint around it. This can is all original with a Display Empty lid. Rated R9 by USBCOI. See brightly lit photos. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
