Comments/description: USBC 45-8 OI 164. R8 rarity! A truly great looking can both in terms of design and condition. Striking yellow background really sets off the silhouetted buffalo. Simple, uncluttered design. Brilliant hardware and a factory-fresh finish put this one a notch above. Perfectly matched replaced top lid. Air sealed and about 1/4 of a rim taller than standard. Great can! 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.
