Comments/description: USBC 79-16 OI 378. Love the bold, graphic look of this early label. Can has some small signs of aging and handling yet the face still displays great and the can shines like crazy. Most of the imperfections are on the reverse, with some very light oxidation on the factory panel and scratching on the OI side. Bottom lid has been replaced and wear/aging resulting from a rotary opener is evident at the rim, though actual gear marks are not visible. DNCMT 4% statement on top. Correct height. 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.
