Comments/description: Rare and early paper label wine cone top is Withdrawn Free. Written lightly in pencil on one face is the date 6/16/36, so this is a very early label. The paper label is all there and the display is good, although it has some pretty heavy discoloration. The best face is entirely readable and the graphics are clear. Additionally, there is some creasing and rippling, with small tears that may have been re-adhered at the lap seam. It looks like the can beneath the label is just a blank body. Sweet Adeline was a song associated with the Repeal of prohibition. A really cool find. The ONLY Tokay can we have had. 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.
