Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 43-33 USBCOI reference: UNLISTED Contents/Type: 12 oz

Comments/description: USBC 43-33, Unlisted in USBCOI. Rare variation from about 1937 with patent info (Others Pending) and canning code 68A X printed on the seam. Can is in astounding condition and the seam detail would be very easy to overlook or be completely missing on lesser-grade examples. This can is in all-original condition and looks spectacular on the shelf and in-hand. Just minuscule imperfections and a few tiny canning dimples. Sweet! 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 dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
