Remarks:
"Bay State Beer. Circa: 1939 - 1940. This National Can Corporation, 12 ounce container, lists Patents Pending, and was filled by Commonwealth Brewing Corporation of Springfield, Massachusetts. This is the same package design as seen on the previous page (USBC-OI 87) with, however; the overall metallic finish. This Grade 2+ example is the only one known to the author, and is believed to be unique. Rarity Rating: R-10." Reprinted with permission from Kevin C. Lilek.
