USBC reference: 69-4 Contents/Type: 12 oz

Comments/description: This can was possibly a rolled-lip drinking cup that has had a new top lid added. We often see this label, whether flat or cone, as a converted mug or cup, usually with solder residue on the seam indicating the position of a handle that was once attached. Not on this can, so it is more likely to have been a factory-issued rolled-lip cup. Further advancing this likelihood is the perfectly flat, unmarked bottom. A filled can would have had a slight bulge and possibly a batch, date, or price stamp. Condition is very good as the silver and gold both remain untarnished. There is just a smattering of humidity. Can is the correct height. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition: Cans may have minor canning dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Larger dings that do not show will be noted in the item description. A thin black vertical reflection may show on some can photos.
