Comments/description: Near mint can. Surprisingly difficult to find in such high grade, especially with zip intact. Copper metallic is very prone to spotting. Note the interesting production issue on this one in which the yellow lacquer is missing from a 1-1/2-inch wide area at the seam, portions of which are visible on both sides. PA tax lid on the bottom. 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.
