Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A nice pairing consisting of a Black Label from Cleveland (USBC 38-14) and a Red Cap Ale from St. Louis (USBC 119-11). The Black Label is an all-original example with its Michigan tax lid still intact and presents very well. The Ale can has had the top removed, with gear marks and an indented opener line evident. Please refer to the photos for the best assessment of overall condition and design details. 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 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.
