Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to NABA. Rare stylized barrel-shaped test can. Identical in form to the familiar Hamms Draft barrel can that was put into production. Can displays very well on its best side, with bright original white and just a few light wear spots on the high points. There are dings at the top of that side as well as a pair on the opposite side on the top barrel ring and the right edge of the gold. The opposite side also has spidering/oxidation in a row along the left edge of the label. That side is also slightly yellowed. Tab intact. 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 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.
