Comments/description: Another tough St. Claire toughie! They sure had a knack for graphic and striking designs, this one being no exception. The yellow really blazes in the sunburst on bright indoor examples. While it is somewhat subdued here, there is no question this example still holds a lot of appeal since the imagery remains so bold on both faces even though this is an outdoor can. Photos tell the story here, though they fail to capture the nice shine remaining on the paint. Top rim has been highly polished. 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.
