Comments/description: USBC 61-29, OI 259. Non-IRTP instructional label. Dates to the early 1950s. Wonderful color on this can, with deep red and warm gold hues. Humidity-free example. Some small nicks expose just the white base coat while others reveal bare metal. Both lids have been replaced and there is a very faint indent around the can about an inch from the bottom. The former position of the top lid is indicated by a line of bare metal just below the rim. Can is the correct height. 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 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.
