Brewer/Business Name: Rainier Brewing Co., San Francisco, California
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
USBC reference: 178-28 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: This variation has no contents at the bottom front. The face of the can presents extremely well, with a fine shine and beautiful, elegant Deco design in blue and green. The ad panel side to the left, while equally shiny, exhibits discoloration and a little bit of a foreign substance adhered to the top above the white box. Both lids have been replaced and gear marks show at the bottom rim. This label never came in flat-bottom inverted-rib form, but has been lidded with an inverted-rib spout and a concave bottom. The spout has been hand-painted/sprayed gold. Can is the correct height. Very good example. 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.
