Brewer/Business Name: Croft Brewing Co., Boston, Massachusetts
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
USBC reference: 158-21 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Very elusive in this condition - as a clean indoor example. Most indoor specimens have heavy humidity. This is one of the nicest we have encountered and it would be a tall order to find one cleaner. While there is some pinpoint speckling, many of the small dark marks are darkened nicks and scratches. Larger blemishes include some paint missing from the A of ALE and 6-7 dings on the right side that may not show well in the photos. Some color remains on the spout. This can displays very nicely and the depth of the metallic luster is very impressive when this clean. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
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.
