Comments/description: Even more appealing design than its non-OI cousin, if that is possible! The warmth of the gold accents is a great detail that adds just enough to class up the design even more. 1936 origins. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Light humidity takes little away from this one, since the front is mostly enamel red and most of the spotting occurs in the metallic on the back. Has a couple of very minor canning dings near the top that do not show here.
