Comments/description: Lot consists of a cardboard carrier and two empty quart snap cap cans with Milwaukee mandatory. One has a blank lid while the other states STRONG BEER. These are USBC 217-3. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition:
Carrier has wear as shown and is still sturdy despite the moisture that has created some bowing of the side panels and bottom. Handle is a little wobbly and does not stand upright. Both cans are in excellent condition with the example bearing the STRONG lid rating about near mint. The other shows a little more aging, mostly at the rims. Nice lot. Please refer to photos for best assessment of overall condition and specific design details.
