Reference: Unlisted
Brewery: Greater New York Brewery, New York, NY
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: Circa late 1930s
Contents/Type: 32 oz
Condition/Comments: This quart is unique on-grade. We know of 2 really poor dumpers. Note that the can was issued by the short-lived Greater New York Brewery, not Lion. While it does exhibit humidity speckling in the main label areas, they do not affect the background blue which exudes a brilliant lustre and is very eye-catching on the shelf. They also do not affect the text on the reverse of the can. The entire surface is clean and smooth, and the seam is clean. Includes a matching Lion Beer crown.

This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add a can of this magnitude to your collection.
