Comments/description: USBC 119-33 OI 720. This can is R9 on-grade so off-grade examples such as this are a great alternative to that super clean Grail label that may never cross your path. This is a higher-end indoor example with very good color, a mostly smooth surface, and lots of visual appeal even with most of its aging on the display face. The rest of the can is quite nice, including the lids and seam which are patina-ed but not heavily oxidized. Let the photos tell the story. R5 off-grade so still quite an impressive can. Late 1930s Patents Pending 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.
