Reference: USBC 140-23Brewery: Best Brewing Corp., Chicago, IllinoisManufacturer/Plant: Continental Can Co.Date of manufacture: circa 1950sCanning Code: n/a Contents/Type: 12 ozCondition/Comments: This can is known as a water can, which is the result of the can remaining submerged without exposure to air for a long period of time. Without air it cannot oxidize and remains relatively well preserved. However, minerals in the water, silt, or peat, interact with minerals and pigments in paint, causing them to turn colors. Another telltale sign of a water can is rusting from the inside, such as this can exhibits on its still-shiny protected lid, and the seam. Ohio tax stamped top lid. All original.
