Brewer/Business Name: Dawsons Brewery Inc., New Bedford, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Canning Code: n/a
USBC reference: 158-32 USBCOI reference: Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Toning or a smoky environment has given this can a very deep warm gold metallic (which has also altered the usually bright white trim, turning it to cream). Both faces display about the same, with light to moderate humidity, speckling, and darkened scratches of varying degrees and sizes. Quite clean and smooth overall and the humidity is less evident under normal lighting as the gold is still highly reflective. Replaced bottom, correct height. 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 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.
