Condition/Comments: USBC 35-16 OI 81. This is the newest design, an immediate pre-war can with the New York distributor address listed on the OI panel left of the seam. Unusually clean for this metallic label and that includes the bright lids and seam. Looks beautiful under normal lower-light conditions where the luster really comes out and shadows and reflections help to hide the minimal humidity. Has some canning dings along each rim, and a quarter-sized buckled crease near the second E of STATE on the right edge of the face. These may not show well here. An R8 can in this condition. Second of two from a recent find. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
