Brewer/Business Name: G. Heileman Brewing Co., La Crosse, Wisconsin
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1960s
USBC reference: 81-5 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Possibly rolled, outstanding job. The seam looks remarkably accurate and authentic but the body has some very pronounced vertical facets that we have never encountered on a production can. Both lids replaced. The can is the correct height. All that said, the can is ultra-clean and both faces look great. Marks in the imprint consist of scratches and nicks as shown. Exceptional body. 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.
