Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.

Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Lot contains two Ale cans, 55-26 and 55-29, and an instructional Beer flat. We believe the instructional to have a metallic or semi-metallic finish and thus align with OI 205 and USBC 55-34, which is an R7/R4 label according to USBCOI. The green Ale can has no top and exhibits gear marks at the top rim and an indented opener line around the can, among other blemishes visible in photos. The black Ale can is pretty clean and shines nicely with blemishes clearly shown except for a notable ding/dent below 1877 on one face. The OI has moderate humidity throughout and a replaced top lid with gear marks at the rim. It is air sealed and standard height. Please review the photos carefully for best assessment of condition and design details. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

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.
