Brewer/Business Name: Dawsons Brewery, 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: Unusual to find this label with two clean faces. While there are small marks on both sides, this can is far cleaner than most we see that have significant humidity even as indoor cans. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

On this example both faces exhibit some case wear and aging, mostly at and near the top rim. One side has some lightly oxidized scratches near the CCC logo. Overall a good to very good example that would be difficult to upgrade. 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.
