Comments/description: This is the first version of the Bruins commemorative from Carling, that celebrates the teams 1969-70 Cup victory over the St. Louis Blues. The team was loaded with greats Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Johnny Bucyk, and Gerry Cheevers, among others. A subsequent issue for the 1971-72 team features a newer larger, more rounded Black Label logo that reflected the updated production design of that period (and, of course, reflected text for the 71-72 team instead). This can is about near mint, with a small ding on the seam and a few traces of oxidation on the bare metal. 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.
