in your opinion by looking at photo's is this can legit ?,
IMO - top of seam (left) appears that you could peel it -
can doesn't seem too have a shine like a metal can
would have, has a dull look like a wrap - your 2 cents .. ... cool

I don’t know much about cans but it looks like there are air bubbles visible under the SGNA in SIGNAL. I would think this might indicate vinyle wrap but just a guess really

Take a knife on the backside by seam and see if you can peel some up.

There is something very "plasticy" looking about the reflections off the can, that alone gives me reason to question its authenticity...it sure doesn't reflect as smoothly as a vintage lithographed can would.

Should the lines be better lined up with each other across the seam? looks off to me

No way to tell just from a pic.
The horizontal dent on the bottom of the can..I don't see any lifting of a decal there...also checking the sellers other items for sale doesn't lead me to think he's selling a fake.

I see the one Randy posted about was on eBay at a price of $600, or offer. This SIGNAL can is now marked "Sold, Best Offer Accepted". John
