Comments/description: This is the ACTUAL can featured in the USBC and is THE BEST example we have had of this scarcer variation featuring the word BRAND beneath OLD ENGLAND. This can is another example of how revealing our photography is. In hand, it appears near perfect. Our shadow-free set-up causes imperfections to contrast more in photos than under normal lighting. Surface is clear, smooth and clean. Close to the day it was made. Just some tiny nicks and scuffs mostly around top rim. Perfect colors. Evenly retains most of its original gold finish on spout. Proper crown. Provenance to the legendary Stark Collection. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
