Comments/description: This is the variant that lists the New York office at 67 West 44th Street at bottom front. Display is exceptional, boasting smooth, clear surface and perfect color, just small imperfections. Simple yet highly appealing and timeless graphics of the bold brand and brew overlaid on the U.S. map. The gold spout boosts the appeal even further. On the reverse there is rippling and loss from dent removal at the left of the seam as shown. Scarce can in this clean condition. Overall excellent condition. 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 dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
