Comments/description: Side ad panel is the 1840-1940 version with the United Brewers seal. Very good display on both the face and ad panel, should you decide to display one over the other. There is a line around the center of the can that is an artifact of production; it is not an opener scratch or indent, just a variation in the metal itself. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
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.
