Comments/description: IRTP version. As nice as we have seen this label. It ALWAYS appears heavily spotted, and/or tarnished in the white. While this one has not escaped those afflictions, they are MUCH less prominent than on other examples so the display is very, very strong by comparison. Can is rolled and is the correct height. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Note that despite the overall outstanding condition, there is still very light humidity on the left side, slight darkening of the white, and tarnish in the silver trim around ALE. Would be very difficult to upgrade.
