Comments/description: USBC 125-39 OI 444. Very sharp example of this tough instructional. This is the first, scarcest version with the red text at top and bottom and gold side panels. This one is outstanding from any angle as the finish is great and the lids and seam are its match. Nice smooth surface with virtually no sign of under-the-paint humidity common to this label. Just has a single small spot above the R of RUPPERT on the front. Very difficult to find this nice. 1936 can is Patents Pending and R7 in this outstanding state. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition
