Comments/description: This lot is an original case find of Croft Ale factory bank lid flat tops. The case was found full and 6 cans remain, all in identical high grade condition. The carton is in very good condition. A little dark from age perhaps, and with some small tears from general handling, but no abuse. Still very square and sturdy. Factory bank can are distinguishable by the out-of-register inks that resulted in no white border at the bottom of the crown, and the red being printed off-center within the white oval. Date code on the bottom of the carton indicates it was manufactured in June of 1959. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
