Brewer/Business Name: Dawsons Brewery, New Bedford, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1960s
USBC reference: 53-23 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A pretty underrated label in our opinion. Quite difficult to come by as a flat top, especially in higher grade. Much scarcer than the identical tabs from both New Bedford and Willimansett. This is the ACTUAL can pictured in USBC. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Quite clean overall, with some light humidity and darkened scratches. Most of the gold is clean and bright with no tarnish and the white is still fresh. No notable dings or creases. Very good condition. 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.
