Comments/description: Version without APPETIZING AND REFRESHING on front. High grade for this label that is very difficult to find as a clean indoor example. Most clean examples originated from a single case find many years ago. Clean cans from other sources are very scarce indeed. While this one has some small spots and darkened nicks and scratches the face is crisp and very clear with excellent color and shine. Has a few small dimples at upper left that may not be evident in the photos. LNS is scratched into the bottom. 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.
