Comments/description: Rare quart, especially in indoor condition. This example display pretty well with outstanding deep metallics where unaffected by humidity. All elements of the design are clear and the can is quite smooth to the tough. Very difficult to upgrade as we know of only a few better that are locked away in collections. Looks better in person. NOTE the photos taken outdoors in natural lighting with an iPhone shows it more like it might appear in person. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition
Humidity as shown in the metallics, tarnish in some of the white enamel. Still an impressive example even with the humidity. Very straight and free of notable dings/indents. Some color still on the spout. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
Available payment options
