Reference: USBC 34-18Business Name: P. Ballantine & Sons, Newark, New JerseyManufacturer/Plant: American Can Co.Date of manufacture: circa 1950sCanning Code: n/a Contents/Type: 12 ozCondition/Comments: Note the lack of IRTP and no 1950 copyright at the top of the oval on this scarce variation. Both faces are evenly tarnished but all of the text and colors are evident. The tarnish is heavy enough to be felt and has dulled the shine but is not heavy enough to be termed rust. The lesser face has a ding on the oval at 1-o-clock, otherwise the canning dings are confined to the rims and are rather minor. The top inside rim has been polished. Likely a very short-lived label that was quickly replaced by the 1950 copyright design. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
