Brewer/Business Name: Excell Brewing Co., Chicago, Illinois
Manufacturer/Plant: National Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: 61-19 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Tough Excell mandatory on this variation. This is a rolled can with significant tarnish but no heavier humidity to alter the still-smooth surface. Note the staple hole in the sheet at the seam. There is wrinkling around that as well that may not show clearly in the photos. Can is air-sealed, about 1/3 of a rim shorter than standard. 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.
