Comments/description: This variation carries the NOT IN EXCESS OF 4% alcohol statement. This good example was once painted over with brown paint, residual amounts of which can still be seen in the joints at the rims and seam. Removal did not result in any loss of the original label, so the can remains an attractive display piece despite humidity visible on the face and in the gold bands. There are dings below PRICE and at the top right of the seam that may not show in the photos. A strong example of this interesting alcohol-statement variation. 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.
