Condition

Surface smooth as glass with no humidity. Very faint indent line around the can an inch from the top from the opener used to remove the original lid. Can has been stretched to cover most of the gear marks. Line above the bottom rim indicates the former position of that rim. New top applied and the can now stands about 1/3 of a rim taller than typical. A gorgeous can.
