Comments/description: Rare and popular design with outstanding color and simplicity. Depicts Revolutionary War symbolism of a flintlock and drum to illustrate the 76 theme. Lustrous metallic green with some bright silver metallic accents thrown in. Highly coveted by collectors. Condition is excellent as there is very little humidity - the usual suspect in downgrading this label. Wear at the rims consists of scratching, nicks, ripples, and several small canning dings; these the result of removal of the bottom lid. It has since been replaced and the can stands at the correct height. Clean spout appears to be original. Strong display. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Cans may have minor canning and handling dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Please review photos carefully for these subtle indents. Larger dings that do not show and those in other locations will be noted in the item description.
