Reference: USBCOI 742 Actual can pictured at Class 43-12 Actual can pictured at BCCA 127-6Brewery: Grace Bros. Brewing Co. Santa Rosa, CaliforniaManufacturer/Plant: American Can Co. 94Date of manufacture: Circa 1938Contents/Type: 12 oz. Instructional Flat Top Beer CanCondition/Comments: In the OI book, the author knows of only one example, and pictures a grade 5. This is clearly a few steps above that and may be the only other example known. It is also the actual can pictured in the Class and USBC books. Having any Salute OI on your shelf is a treat, but this super rare and well documented example far exceeds the "treat" designation. Replaced bottom lid with minor teeth marks. Solidified beer colored drippings on top lid and some areas of body. See brightly lit, oversized photos for a zoomed view of condition.
