Comments/description: USBC 88-2, OI 451A. Rare BEER version of this early National Can Co. instructional with REG TRADE MARK beneath the Double-Lined logo. Unpictured in USBCOI but noted in the text of 451. Late 1935 can carries a rarity rating of R9. This excellent example has only minor blemishes and surface wear while maintaining a sharp display on both sides. Apart from the marks evident in the photos, there is an indent on the scratch at the G of KINGS on one face, a ding below the K of KINGS on the same side, and a fainter one between the two Es of BEER. The opposite face has a pair of light indents above and on the K of KINGS and another on the left side of the bottom red banner. These do not show well in the photos. Lids and seam are clean, the colors remain as bright as new, and this tough instructional can displays beautifully. 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.
