Comments/description: The second of three cans from this lineup of four brews (Ale, Master, Pale, Beer) we are offering in this event. The Master is considered the most available of the three though all are scarce, especially in high grade. One of the most popular designs out there, these full card illustrations are both colorful and graphic, and rank high on many want lists due to both scarcity and aesthetics. This Master Ale can has a 21-6 plant code near the seam and has a U permit number as well. Can has a uniform shine to it with evenly distributed under-the-paint humidity that has, only in some places, advanced to oxidation that has broken the surface and can be felt. These are generally light and may be difficult to see in the photos. They certainly are not disruptive of the cans display quality. There is a small ding at top left of the seam. Spout and rims have been polished. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
