Comments/description: Very rare and highly underrated can when it comes to indoor examples. This may be about the third best example of which we are aware, which underlines how difficult this can is to find on-grade. Photos tell the story pretty well but fail to relate how much less apparent the humidity becomes under normal lighting. Not evident in the images is a small ding to the top left of the Cap-Sealed strip, a ding on the right side of the seam, and another pair of smaller ones at the right base of the seam. Rare opportunity to acquire an elusive indoor 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 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.
