Comments/description: Rare cone! This one is in all-original as-found condition and has never been cleaned. It will not take much to make this one a real star: a little TLC in an acid bath, a trip to the dent remover, and off the the races! That is not to say the best face does not already look quite impressive. - it certainly does. Denting occurs on the opposite side. It may not be fully visible in the photos. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition
There are a few tiny pinholes in the middle of the seam though examination on the inside of the can shows it to be minimally rusted and still quite strong in that area.
Available payment options
Winning bidders will receive an invoice within 3 days of auction close detailing shipping costs and insurance. Bidders may opt to accept the risk of loss or damage in transit and forego insurance by contacting auctioneer.
