Brewer/Business Name: Cold Spring Brewing Co., Cold Spring, Minnesota
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: 50-5 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: This one does not turn up very often - the variation with a black label and red accent colors. Notably scarcer than any of its blue successors. Best face displays very well with just minor speckles and small spots. Lush gold metallic and a smooth finish. Opposite side has more spotting and some are a little rough to the touch. DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN 3.2% statement on top lid. There is a scratch all around the can just above the bottom rim and the can is 1/4 rim taller than typical but we cannot ascertain which, if any, lid has been replaced. 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.
