Brewer/Business Name: Theo. Hamm Brewing Co., St. Paul, Minnesota
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 79-13 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: USBC 79-13, OI 754. Tough label on-grade. Issued in early 1936 it is a Patents Pending, U permit design with 12 FL OZ SAME AS BOTTLE on the front. While it does have some notable blemishes we consider the can to be on-grade and it provides an outstanding display. There is no humidity, just a small spot of oxidation near the rim at the top of the OI panel, a few nicks, and a small indent below the scratch near the left red ribbon. Some of these do not show in the photos or on display. Nice bright lids and seam. This can has a stars and stripes motif printed on the top lid. 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.
