Comments/description: Note the Harvard mandatory as this white label also comes from Eastern - Hammonton. This is a very decent indoor example of the more common of the two Bock variations from Harvard, the other being the yellow background. Still a tough can so would make a great addition on the way to rounding out that Harvard lineup. In spite of its blemishes the paint is still smooth to the touch and has most of its original sheen remaining. Only lightly aged. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Strong example with some scattered blemishes. Most are on the sides or edge of the display so it looks very good on the shelf. 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.
