Comments/description: High quality example. This metallic label spots so very easily on both the flat and zip top versions so it is notable how little humidity is present here. Many of the dark marks are actually darkened scratches. The only humidity we find is a small patch near the Keglined logo and another near the mandatory. Excellent display, especially under normal lighting condition. This example has a toothed seam. 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.
