Comments/description: USBC 110-36 OI 629. Rare can that is not known to exist on-grade. Note the distinctive block letter PABST logo versus the much more widely-used script logo of the period. This design dates to mid-1936 and is Patents Pending. R8 rarity even in this condition. Most of the flaws occur on the reverse while the face is evenly aged with under-the-paint humidity and a few other marks. Presents really well. 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.
