Comments/description: Scarce low-profile version. Can displays well despite some obvious marks from both wear and age. These seem to be heaviest at the rims, though they are certainly present elsewhere as shown, including the face. Luckily, the colors are still impressive and very alluring as this design is all about the colors. Not visible in the photos are several small dimples and ripples throughout the label, with most on the left side and top front. Can still has a nice shine. There is a slice in the spout on the right side and denting of the neck, likely from some unknown use to which the can was put after its contents were consumed. Rims have been partially polished. 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.
