Comments/description: Sweet can! These earliest of cones are very difficult to find in this high grade and with such clean spouts. This one is a treat, with a lovely original finish and color, the only marks being light scratches across the text and some handling marks and dings at the top of the Cap-Sealed panel. Note the 4-3/4% alcohol statement. Highly desirable issue as Schlitz was the first major brand to market beer in this flat bottom, inverted rib cone top 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.
