Brewer/Business Name: Jacob Ruppert, New York, New York
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1960s
USBC reference: 231-18 Contents/Type: 16 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 6-1/4 h.
Comments/description: Excellent example with just minor blemishes. Plenty of clean metallics on this one to catch the eye. Considerably more difficult to find this design in a pint format than its 12-ounce cousins. Both side display equally well, which is to say, excellent. 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.
