Comments/description: Lot contains Bull Dogs from San Francisco Stout 45-27, and an unlisted label with no yellow. Either a misprint missing the yellow or a legit unlisted label. Not likely faded as no yellow is visible anywhere on the can and fade would have also affected the red. Bothy cans remain very shiny even with oxidation so display well. White can has denting on the side opposite seam and a ding at the top left of the seam. Please refer to the photos for additional design, lid, and condition details. 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.
