Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to NABA. Check out the consignor's photo of this can. Our photos are intended to reveal every imperfection to enable fully informed decisions when bidding. This photo shows the can more like it will appear under normal viewing. Tough, early Patents Pending design with OI illustration on each side of the seam. Dates to late 1936. Very sharp example, about as close to near mint as you can find this highly metallic copper label. All blemishes show clearly in the photos except for a couple of small canning dings on the lower right side. R8 in this condition. 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.
Available payment options
Winning bidders will receive an invoice within 3 days of auction close detailing shipping costs and insurance. Bidders may opt to accept the risk of loss or damage in transit and forego insurance by contacting auctioneer.
