Comments/description: USBC 144-1, OI 853. Highly-sought-after instructional offers great graphics depicting Samson (of the renowned biblical Samson and Delilah) pushing down the pillars of the temple Dagon, destroying it, and killing himself and many Philistines in the process of his final act of superhuman strength. This is an outdoor-found can. Tiny pinhole in the seam yet feels quite solid and stable. Small ding on CHAMP of CHAMPAGNE. Appears to have been coated with a light oil or or matte fixative that gives it a bit of a wet look on the rusted areas. Late 1937 Others Pending can. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
