Condition/Comments: This example offers a very confusing top lid: around the circumference is the instruction to disregard the statement followed by WFIRT For Exportation while, in the center and on the can, are IRTP statements. Which statement to disregard?! After pondering, consider that this can is a solid on-grade example of this tough label, one we rarely see in high grade. Surface and color are both outstanding, with only small nicks and darkened scratches. This is the version with the metric contents on the front. Not evident in the photos is a small ding at the top left. Tough can! All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
