Wehle Colonial Ale Long Opener Flat Top NO QUOTES 144-35 ACTUAL OI 861 RARE R9

Reference: USBC 144-35, OI 861
Business Name: Wehle Brewing Co., West Haven, Connecticut
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Canning Code: n/a
Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: Rare R9 label. This variant has no quote marks around CANCO on the Keglined panel and is a late-1935 issue so a very early variation. It is Patents Pending. This is the actual can pictured in USBCOI on page 861, one of only three known examples at the time of publication and arguably the best of the three that are all in similar condition. There is a ding at the top right of the last L of COLONIAL that may not show here. A rare opportunity. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
