Date of manufacture: circa 1950s

Comments/description: Tough crowntainer in overall clean condition. Excellent color and a smooth display face with only minimal spidering. The reverse exhibits light spidering throughout, though the strong color minimizes its visual impact. Aging is more evident on the spout but is not distracting. Displays very well. 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.
