Brewer/Business Name: Pittsburgh Brewing Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: 85-36 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. Tough, first version with silver trim rather than gold. The main label on this specimen is off the charts, with a smooth, shiny finish and bright, clear white and silver metallic. Aging is evident in the silver bands at the rims however, where there are darkened nicks and scratches and a few humidity spots as shown. Displays very well under normal lighting where reflections diffuse and mask the humidity. Ohio tax lid on top. Overall very good to excellent, tough this clean. 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.
