Comments/description: USBC 83-39 OI 424. Early 1950s issue instructional with no IRTP statement. Lists 3 patent numbers. While the photos show there is an abundance of tarnish and some small areas of heavier oxidation, the can does look better under normal lighting where the warmth of the copper is more apparent and the contrasting shine is greater. Hardware is clean and there is a PA tax lid on top. 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.
