Comments/description: USBC 92-39 OI 503. Date stamped Nov 12, 1935 on top! This is a Patents Pending design with U permit. Blemishes seen at lower front are a result of the crude method employed to open the can, which involved partially cutting away the lid. The denting is where the attempt was made to first puncture it and it compromised the body of the can in that area as well as the lid. Otherwise, there are just 3-4 tiny oxidation spots. Great example of this rare and early can! Provenance to the Bob McCoy Collection. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
