Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. This is the variant with more metallic-looking green. In addition to the spotting/tarnish shown, there is denting at the top of the left half of the can below the rim down to the SCH of SCHMIDTS. Other dents occur at the base of the seam, at 1- and 5-o-clock on the front. The spout and rims have been cleaned to a gleaming mirror-like finish. A solid example. 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.
