Comments/description: USBC 140-10 OI 805. Very graphic and alluring Deco design and typography on this early can.

Condition
Photos fully capture the condition of this can, as there are no hidden dings, creases, or lid replacement. Some of the oxidation on one side is darker and more pitted where it looks like a foreign substance may be on the surface. There is a tiny pinhole near that area in the gold band.
Available payment options
Winning bidders will receive an invoice within 3 days of auction close detailing shipping costs and insurance. Bidders may opt to accept the risk of loss or damage in transit and forego insurance by contacting auctioneer.
