Comments/description: Tough 1940s Ale can, this one from Peoria Heights. Has a lot of minute darkened scratches and some minor humidity yet looks terrific on the shelf under normal lighting conditions. Plenty of shimmer and shine remains and the color is strong. A few small dings around the bottom rim though none are on the front. This is a former Stark collection can which speaks to its overall excellent condition. 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 and handling dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Please review photos carefully for these subtle indents. Larger dings that do not show and those in other locations will be noted in the item description.
