Brewer/Business Name: Haffenreffer Brewing Co., Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1950s
USBC reference: 114-40 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. Very scarce Pickwick label for Pale Ale features striking metallic red-orange stripes against a metallic gold background. A truly impressive design if one ever has a chance to see it in person. That said, this example is among some of the better ones we have seen with a lot of that great color still intact. Fortunately, the heaviest of the humidity occurs on the back and near the rims where it affects the display least. Other than a small ding on ALE the only indents present are small canning dings at the rims and a small ding on the seam. The top has been replaced and both rims have been cleaned. Very good overall. 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.
