Comments/description: Lot contains a 1950s cardboard 6-pack carrier for Grain Belt Special cone tops and four cans. Cans are non-IRTP and carry a NOT OVER 3.2% alcohol statement (167-18). All cans exhibit varying degrees of tarnish, humidity spotting, and oxidation. Carton has moisture staining and is slightly misshapen from the damp and age, though its display is very good on its best side. One top flap is detached but fits properly in its original folded position. Please refer to the photos for best assessment of the condition of both the carrier and the cans. 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 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.
