Comments/description: One of the most popular designs out there, these full card illustrations are both colorful and graphic, and rank high on many want lists due to both scarcity and aesthetics. This Pale Ale can has a CCCO. 1 plant code near the seam and has a U permit number as well. Provides a high-level display from either side. Colors are off the charts as this design features dark blue for the brand and brew that really make these features pop. Just minor nicks and scratches but no under-the-paint humidity. Beautiful can! Includes a scarce and valuable Dawsons Ale card crown on top too. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
