What I  Look For In a ViNtaGe SNOW CAN:

#1.  FAB GRAPHICS

(Lending a "feel" of an era gone by...)

#2.  NO Bar-Codes

(Validates it's vintage...)

#3.  A Natural Time-Worn Patina

(Gives it one-of-a-kind character)

 You won't find "Bar-Codes" on 8 of my 9 Cans!!!

JuSt LoVe the Old California Mfg. Markings!!!

A*N*D  the connection that I lived there at one time...

 I LoVe Imperfections!*!*!

Sooooo Much MORE INTERESTING Than Brand New!!!

A Natural Time-Worn PaTiNa ~ Along with the Dent in the Cap

Makes for a ONE-OF-A-KIND FIND!*!*!

 

 

Have a GREAT Snow-Globe Sunday

wilted by morning...
