Business Name: Wehle Brewing Co., West Haven, Connecticut

Contents/Type: 12 oz
Condition/Comments: USBC 109-24 USBCOI 625. Very scarce issue dates to mid-1936 and is Patents Pending. This is the best of 3 cans remaining from a recent find of 6. USBCOI lists this label variation as R9 on-grade prior to this find so it is still a tough one on-grade. Some small scattered oxidation spots and a little under-the-paint humidity as shown. The is a ding on OX, some smaller ripples to the left of the emblem, and a minor handling ding on the H of HEAD that may not be evident in the photos. A highly presentable specimen as-is that would display even better with the dents professionally removed. Very bright lids and seam.  All items are original unless otherwise noted.
