Brewer/Business Name: Duquesne Brewing Co. of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 159-25 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. First version of the Can-o-Beer label, this one has a low-profile construction and is Patent Applied For. This can is overall very clean and humidity-free although it has several small imperfections about the label. The most obvious affecting display is an indent and scratch on and below BEER - although these may not show well in the photos. There is another smaller ding between the Cap-Sealed panel and the seam. Can still has a nice shine/sheen and a lot of gold on the spout. 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.
