Comments/description: This is the much tougher GOLD LABEL version of this Ale design, see far less frequently than its successor the similar 101-19. This label is IRTP and states GOLD LABEL above ALE while 101-19 has neither. While this is an indoor can it suffers from heavy humidity and darkening from tarnish in the white and red enamel. All features and colors are discernible. 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 and handling dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Please review photos carefully for these subtle indents. Larger dings that do not show and those in other locations will be noted in the item description.
