Comments/description: USBC 146-10, OI 882. Earliest variant with KEGLINED at top front. Rare label with an R8 rating on-grade. This is a fabulous example whose most notable aging is visible in the white at the bottom front, in the form of a little speckled tarnish. The factory-original finish is intact and the shine/sheen is outstanding. Three very faint indents in the lower left quadrant do not show in the photos and do not adversely affect the display either. This can dates to late 1936 and is Patents Pending. Replaced top lid, air-sealed. Half a rim shorter than standard. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition
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.
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.
