Comments/description: This early Patents Pending TapaCan design dates to about 1936. USBC 110-35, OI 619. Terrific bold 1930s graphics make this one a classic. The presentation remains very good despite some under-the-paint humidity in the silver, and the red is deep and unfaded. In addition to the blemishes visible here, there is an indent around the scrape on the left side between the main and side panel, and a smaller one at the top of the left side near the TapaCan logo. STRONG ALE on top lid. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
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.
