Comments/description: Scarce Ale can is multiple times more difficult than its similar Beer counterparts. This example is fairly clean, with some light spotting and darkened scratches while the green metallic remains crisp and immediately identifies this tough can. Top had been replaced and gear marks are faintly visible. There is a faint opener indent line around the can at the midpoint, likely not evident in the photos. 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.
