Comments/description: Quality example of this popular design that features the company trade mark lemonhead figures sipping their Croft. Their arms are labeled DRY, PURE, and HEARTY. Note the silver spout on this version as the design also comes in cans with a bright gold spout. Exhibits some light humidity that is evenly distributed throughout the label and that is more difficult to detect under normal lighting.This is a fine-looking shelf can, especially with so much silver remaining on the spout to boost its appeal. Some slightly larger canning dings at the rims may not be evident in photos and there is a tiny ding between the R and O of CROFT on the front. 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.
