Comments/description: Possibly a printing error of 117-23 that is missing the white base coat, this metallic label has its own listing as a distinct design 117-24 but is identical in every other respect. This particular example is extremely nice, super clean and humidity-free with only some nicks and scratches at the top. Bottom has been replaced and the can is air sealed. DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN 6% alcohol statement on original top lid. Cool can! 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.
