Brewer/Business Name: Adolph Coors Co., Golden, Colorado
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 51-17 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Hobby staple waterfall can is highly sought-after by collectors of all stripes. Iconic design and hugely appealing graphics. This one will never lose its appeal. The pictorial side - the one most collectors choose to display - of this example is about near mint with just a couple of minor nicks. The opposite side with the branding has some scratching, with a slight indent above the B of BEER. Clean as a whistle with a fresh, smooth surface and no trace of humidity. The lids and seam are clean too. Can has been stretched (i.e., re-lidded) to successfully conceal gear marks and is the correct height. 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.
