SOLD $320.00 Sold: Oct 12, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This is the one of the earliest, if not the earliest Tecate beer can ever produced. Note that it is one face, not two. And, the large "Keglined" wording to the left of the seam in picture #4 helps to date it. The story is that it was purchased in Mexico in 1956 by a couple who had gotten married there. They brought it home to CA and it sat full until 1979, when they gifted it to a beer can collector who carefully opened it from the bottom with an ice pick--you can see the tiny holes in the last picture. Gorgeous can in nice condition.Low Opening bid, and no reserve. I combine shipping as I am selling many other cans today and you never have to pay extra shipping no matter how many cans you win from me! 15 Day Full Money back refund. 40+ year member of the BCCA, #23111
