Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: Unlisted in USBC, OI 541. Rare R9 can when on grade and even rates as R8 when not! Copper background is the first of its color and the last of the long openers. This design also does not have a Keglined reference at bottom front, only COOL BEFORE SERVING. The display is very good, with lots of bright copper and clean silver to accent the red and blue. Heaviest aging is on the OI panels and nearly all of the text is legible. There is a little discoloration to the blue at the top of the seam that may be an indicator of how contents escaped since the can appears to be air sealed and all original. Dates to early 1936 and is Patents Pending. RARE. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
