Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. Very RARE can in excellent condition. 1 of only 2 or 3 all original examples known to us and contender for the best! Beautiful 1930s deco inspired graphics and a wonderful fresh finish make this one a special opportunity. Just a few nitpicks: the slightest humidity in the gold (and most of that is darkened nicks), few small marks, a very slight and small ding/crease at 4-o-clock of the R&H logo, and another minor canning ding on YORK. Clean lids and seam. Provenance to the legendary Stark and Judd Collections. By itself, an elite collection! 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 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.
