Comments/description: Non-IRTP version of this design. This can was formerly a lighter from which the instruction label has been removed to reveal unfaded label on the reverse. In addition to the characteristics shown, there is a larger, somewhat vertical indent on the front across the right half of the label. This resulted in two long vertical soft creases that culminate in a deeper ding at the mandatory. 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.
