Brewery: Wehle Brewing Co., West Haven, Connecticut
Manufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s

Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: Super sharp example of this early patents pending instructional. This variant has TWO different canning codes: 10A X at the base of the Keglined panel, and 17A X at the base of the mandatory panel! Even though the USBCOI claims that 862 has the 17A X mark printed in both locations, the photos appear to show the same two marks that are present on this can. Can dates to 1936. This one is a beauty and is all original. From the Jules Kish Connecticut collection. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
