Comments/description: Rare test label. The photo in USBCII does not do it justice as the colors appear washed-out and lack the warmth of the real thing as shown here. This is a very attractive label. Note that the graduated dark areas within the silver bands are an intentional part of the design, not aging. Can is near mint and displays beautifully from either side. Rolled, air-sealed example is the correct height. Sweet! 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.
