Comments/description: Tough Ale cone! Even with the gold metallic and white showing tarnish, the green is strikingly vivid and remains highly attractive and is instantly recognizable. Blemishes like darkened scratches are difficult to detect on the black background from display distance so the can still looks very good on the shelf. There is some rippling at the lower left of the face above the rim where a dent was repaired, and gear marks are visible below the top rim. Spout has been replaced and the can is the proper height. 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.
