Comments/description: Full case of 24 factory-original drinking cups unlisted in USBC. This variant from Milwaukee has a 1954 copyright date and the large 12 at top left. Similar to 129-29 but with a different date. Cans are from Continental. All cans are clean indoor examples with the best and most rating about near mint. A lesser amount are still on-grade but exhibit minor blemishes. Only a couple have notable humidity. The range of conditions is shown in a representative close-up photo, with the best on the left, a typical on-grade can in the center, and the worst on the right. Carton has wear, small tears, and creasing yet is highly displayable with good color and graphics. 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.
