Brewer/Business Name: Falstaff Brewing Corp., St. Louis, Missouri
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
USBC reference: 161-25 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Note the St. Louis mandatory and IRTP statement. This appears to be a former mug can from which the handle has been removed and a spout applied. It may be a factory misprint as well, as there is a notable amount of green in the trim elements at top and bottom that is not usually present on this design. Some slight fade to the red on the front. Metallic is terrific and nearly humidity-free and the surface is fresh and clean. The seam and bottom rim have been sanded and buffed with a Dremel grinding tool to remove the excess solder and oxidation. The can is the correct height. Outstanding. 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.
