Condition

Notable flaws: the top 20% is crimped vertically all around as if to fit into a piece of ductwork. There is what appears to be a filled hole on the front above the large 6 logo, possible where a fastener was used. The hole is filled with solder and has been filed smooth to be level with the surface of the can. There is an indented scratch around the can about 2 inches from the top. Other creases are present that may not be evident in photos. Some minor humidity and scratching as shown. 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.
