    Description

    I have been told that these "red" painted Smokeless cans are the most difficult to come by and were manufactured in the late 1890's-1920 period.  The can features lithographed game scene on one end panel and a lithographed printed information on the other panel along with a patent date of August 22, 1893.  The end panel is also marked "Smokeless Rifle Powder, No. 1".  Overall the can shows some normal shelf scuff and grime that should clean a lot better and remains structurally perfect, all panels clearly legible.  Measures 3 3/4" x 3 1/4" diam.
