Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. This version features a larger label design than a similar following issue and reads PREMIUM Lager Beer versus the EXPORT found on similar preceding designs. Can is good and smooth overall, although the aesthetics are compromised by tarnish and fade as shown. Not evident in photos are a pushed-out dent at top left of silver rectangle, and a ding and creasing on the B of ORTLIEBS. 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.
