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. Look closely at the photos. Cans without a photograph of the top lid likely never had a top lid applied, like a true sample can. Dats are approximate. Grade 9.5

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.
