Notes: This can was pulled from the production line of a Reynolds manufacturing plant by a manager who for 30 years saved samples from the more interesting canning runs. This might be a test market can an error can a prototype a regular production can or a can that never made it to production for one reason or another. Either way this is a relic from a very quiet era in the can collecting hobby when not many current cans were being saved. Date is approximate.

Unless otherwise requested, shipping will be fulfilled via USPS or UPS. Insurance on winnings of over $50 is required, as is a handling fee, to cover to cost of labor and materials. Generally, this is 50¢ per can, $1 per tray and bottle, $10 per wooden crate. Medium-sized signs will require a $5-10 handling fee. The handling fee for large items could be quite a bit more. Shipping charges will be combined for multiple lots, of course.
