Reference: USBC 144-4, OI 859
Business Name: Forest City Brewery, Cleveland, Ohio
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Canning Code: n/a
Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: USBC 144-4 OI 859. Can is very clean and essentially humidity-free with a wonderful, fresh, factory-original surface look and feel. Extra nice to find an example without any under-the-paint humidity. This one does have some dings, however: Five on the left side, a couple of which are visible to the left of the eagle emblem from the front; and another 1-1/2-inch diagonal crease above the Canco opener promo. The top has been removed and opener gear marks are minimally visible below the rim. Others pending design dates to about 1939 and is Others Pending. We like that the can was left in as-found condition, without lid replacement. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
