Used in very good condition commensurate with age (1940s). The container measures approximately 8" tall and 6" in diameter. The exterior finish has developed a lovely, aged patina. The interior is still bright in places, with some discoloration in other places (see pictures). The are a few small (less than 1mm) deep dents here and there as to be expected in a steel container this old. The lid still fits the body very, very tightly. The soldered seam on the body is still waterproof.
