There are a couple of small holes in the seam but this can is very solid and stable. The colors are outstanding for a weathered example. All original. From the Jules Kish Connecticut collection. Condition comments intended to shed light where defects may not be easily seen in photos. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
