Comments/description: USBC 101-11 OI 551. This is the second OI design from Narry with a full Keglined strip and the addition of Patent Office text below the logo. We believe it to be even scarcer than the first design, though USBCOI assigns an R7/R5 rarity to both. This example has some spotting as shown yet still exudes lots of copper and gold metallic charm in its classic and highly attractive design. Factory-original finish remains as does plenty of bright copper on the lids. 1938 issue is Others Pending. 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.
