Comments/description: Tough can, especially this nice! Displays great as there are only a few scattered small oxidation spots and light scratching on the sides. The front has escaped relatively unscathed as the marks there are smaller and some are even masked by the type. A small, sharp indent is present on the apostrophe and there is a faint ripple to the left of the seal. Some aging is present at the rims. Excellent paint quality. Rims and seam have been scoured. 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.
