Condition report:

A standard can has been overpainted in a non-original green finish with hand-applied branding. There are significant dents and undulations to the metal, particularly on the base and side panels. Surface scratches, minor paint losses, and signs of oxidation are visible beneath the paint. The brass filler cap shows a heavy aged patina.
