Comments/description: Scarce cone. We have not had the opportunity to offer many of these. This one is very good, a very respectable indoor example with great color and two equally appealing display faces. Humidity is light, visible mostly in the metallic unless under close inspection, so the can looks excellent on the shelf. Not evident in photos is some creasing from dings near the bottom on both sides, a ding on the EN of GOLDEN on one face, and another in the white at the top of the other side. Given its scarcity, it would be difficult to upgrade this can. 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.
Available payment options
Winning bidders will receive an invoice within 3 days of auction close detailing shipping costs and insurance. Bidders may opt to accept the risk of loss or damage in transit and forego insurance by contacting auctioneer.
