Comments/description: USBC 46-26 OI 173. Clean for this tough label. Difficult to find with such an outstanding finish and bright, clear silver metallic highlights. Minuscule blemishes here and there throughout the label but certainly qualifies as an on-grade can. Late 1930s label; Others Pending. Nice! All items are original unless otherwise noted.

Condition
