Comments/description: Very difficult to find this label much cleaner than this. It is scarce to begin with so it would be a significant achievement to upgrade this can. The can is clean all around though it is covered in tiny darkened nicks and a few larger scratches. Its best face presents nicely with uniform silver and a factory-original sheen. There is a small ding below the R of BEER. Opposite side has a soft crease near the seam across the last S of DAWSONS that may not show in the photos. Much scarcer than its Ale counterpart. 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.
