Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
USBC reference: 218-1 Contents/Type: 32 oz
Dimensions: 3-3/4 w x 7-1/2 h.
Comments/description: Rare in any condition. Great graphics of the fox waiter and more are all still in force on this example as, despite its widespread oxidation issues, there are no single large distracting areas or loss that might otherwise compromise or distract from its appeal and recognition. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

 

Condition

Tarnish and oxidation have darkened some areas while the red has lightened and appears more orange. Pretty uniformly aged all around, with American Can Co. bit heavier rust on the right side. Some areas of the spout have been scoured as have the rims. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
