USBC reference: 157-2 USBCOI reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz

Comments/description: One of the few cone labels that USBC has indicated is scarcer with a concave bottom than with a newer flat bottom. While this one has clearly been well protected from severe moisture it has not escaped the elements altogether, despite being indoors. The reverse and left side exhibit fading and some mild tarnish/oxidation, along with a scuff and ding on the right side text panel. Despite the fade, the front presents quite well as only the left edge of the label is compromised and the rest of the face is excellent. Spout and rims are bright as well. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

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.
