Ballantine and Sons of Newark, New Jersey; with New York Distributor for P. Ballantine & Sons at 517 West 16th Street New York City. This is the same package design as seen on the previous page (USBC-OI 62) with, however; the two lined text below the trademark which reads "Trade Mark Registered U.S. Patent Office, American Can Company", along with the added distributor information on the right side panel. This Grade 1- example is the best of only nine examples known to the author, and a quality, Grade 1 example may not exist. Rarity Rating: R-8." Reprinted with permission from Kevin C. Lilek.
