Dates to 1935 and is singular PATENT pending. Can shows evident aging but is strong overall and displays better under natural lighting. This example was not known or not considered in the count of known examples at the time USBCOI was published as it states both or the two known example were on grade. So this is the third of what is likely a very small handful of examples. Do not miss this opportunity to add such a rare label! From the Jules Kish Connecticut collection. All original. Air sealed.
