Comments/description: Lot includes USBC Best from United States 36-29, Bismarck from Bismarck-Chicago 37-14, Bohemian 93 from Bohemian-Joliet 40-19, Burgemeister from Warsaw 46-9, and Crest from Crest 52-13. Best has heavy denting on one face, though the better display side presents very well. Bismarck is a paint-over label of an orange soda or soft drink can. Bohemian 93 has the bottom removed and visible gear marks. Burgemeister is an exceptional example aside from a small ding at the lower front. Crest has a few notable dings and an unusually glossy surface that may indicate a clear coat. Refer to the photos for the best assessment of condition and design details. 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.
