Comments/description: A portion of the proceeds from this lot will be donated to BCCA. Attractive Deco label. Bold, colorful linear design held up so well it was used from the 1930s to well into the 1950s after transitioning to use on flat tops and being enhanced even further with the addition of metallic silver to replace the white seen here. This example is super clean and has only minuscule marks. A few minor handling dings that do not show here are hardly a distraction. Sweet, exceptional condition. 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.
