Comments/description: Always a popular can - and a hot ticket when in this high grade. Incredible graphics of two steinies chilling in a bubbling mountain stream. Others Pending.

For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

There are some minor dimples and ripples throughout that do not adversely affect the display due to their size. The largest is between about 4- and 5-o-clock on the illustration and includes a small area of loss that blends perfectly with the silver of the imprint and is easy to overlook as part of the artwork. It is the only notable mark. As mentioned the top has been scoured as have the rims. 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.
