Brewer/Business Name: Dawsons Brewery Inc., New Bedford, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: 53-9 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. This is the version with 3 lines of text below Ale (versus a similar design with no text in that area). Best face presents about near mint with outstanding smooth surface and color. Opposite face is no slouch, offering the same nice color and sheen on most of its area with some oxidized scratches on the left edge and near the bottom. A higher-grade example of this label that just does not turn up clean very often. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
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.
