Brewer/Business Name: Croft Brewing Co., Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
USBC reference: 158-20 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Far cleaner than most, this can is nearly humidity-free and a far cry better than most example out there. Despite the number of indoor cans in circulation, this remains a scarce label in clean on-grade condition. Imperfections not evident in the photos include some light surface scratches that do not expose metal, a 2-inch indented crease from the Cap-Sealed strip onto the seam, and a pair of smaller ones below PORTER. Silver and patina both show on the spout. Sharp can. 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.
