Brewer/Business Name: Dawsons Brewery Inc., New Bedford, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 159-3 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: This variation has no U Permit number on the side panel, showing only Massachusetts Permit No. 9. Despite under-the-paint humidity and several heavier oxidation spots, the can retains bright color and displays well. The remaining unaffected paint preserves much of its original factory surface, and some original gold remains visible on the spout. Both rims have been cleaned. Wonderful King of Diamonds Playing Card graphics. 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.
