USBC reference: 181-6 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Pretty good for this label that more often than not turns up with extensive humidity and darkened white. The metallic on this example is bright and clear and the white is only partially darkened so appears bright on the shelf. Blemishes are shown clearly in the photos. This can is a converted mug from which the handle has been removed and a spout added. Seam has file marks from solder removal and the spout has been hand-painted gold. About a full rim shorter than standard. 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.
