Comments/description: USBC 139-30 OI 798. Very nice can with a blazing blue banner on the front. The red is not as strong, though the can is still very colorful throughout. Has a touch of under-the-paint humidity and some wear that reveals the lighter base coat. Very graphic and early-looking label that dates to the late 1930s. Others Pending. Air sealed with a DISPLAY EMPTY lid on the bottom. Rims and top lid have been polished. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
