Comments/description: Very difficult to find this scarce label without much humidity. The metallic blue seems to spot so very easily. When on-grade like this it looks really sharp with the blues trimmed out by the fine, clean silver metallic accents. All items are original unless otherwise noted.

Condition

There are only two small spots on the can, both on the same side, with the opposite side displaying minty. The can was found without a top and has been successfully stretched to cover gear marks, with a faint impression of the bottom rims former position slightly visible. Can is the perfect standard height. Outstanding. Cans may have minor canning dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
