Condition/Comments: Rare and attractive can with its hammered metal (some say fish scale or golf ball) background. This is a quality example with evenly distributed pinpoint humidity that virtually disappears when the can is on display from even a short distance. Otherwise, there is just a bit of wear to the red on the word BEER. Dates to the late 1930s and is Others Pending. Has a USBCOI rarity rating of R8 on grade. This one has had the rims cleaned and the seam polished to a mirror finish. From the Jules Kish Connecticut collection. Condition comments intended to point out defects not apparent in photos. Rely upon photos for primary assessment of condition. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
