Comments/description: This label may be newer than the Master and Pale designs that preceded it but it is actually scarcer and is much more prone to humidity than the seemingly bulletproof heavily/thickly painted earlier orange designs. That said, this example is in excellent condition with a fine display face and beautiful factory-original shine. Does have some darkened micro-nicks and light humidity along with a few larger marks as shown. Hardware is smooth and clean, the spout showing a patina through which a hint of the original warm gold can be seen. 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.
