Brewer/Business Name: Peter Hand Brewing Co., Chicago, Illinois
Manufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1970s
USBC reference: 247-1 Contents/Type: 12 oz
Dimensions: 2-3/4 w x 5 h.
Comments/description: Test can, press proof, or misprint is anyones guess. Can is listed in the Test Can section of USBCII. No matter the actual story, this is a real attention-getter. Overloaded with magenta ink, the label jumps off the shelf. Clean albeit with scratches and large dent at base of seam. Bottom of body is puckered inward at rim due to ill-fitted lid. This is a rolled can and is 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.
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.
