Comments/description: Interesting group of six different Chicago flat tops including two Gold Brau variations, Great Lakes, two Hillmans labels, and Kings. The Gold Brau Bock has the bottom removed with gear marks confined primarily to the rim. Great Lakes has two replaced lids and stands approximately one-third of a rim shorter than typical. The Hillmans woodgrain example has painted lids and rims with a cleaned seam. Hillmans Superb has a few soft creases and kinks that do not show well in the photos, while the Kings can has kinks on one display face. Conditions vary considerably. Please review the photos carefully. 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.
