First off, I have to thank Kerry Lewis (kerry10456) for the can that matches the ad! Kerry dated the can to 1946 and that is the same date on the magazine ad. I also believe that the 20-20 weight is a considerably less common can than most others.
Thank you again Kerry!

If I have something that They might enjoy, I'll pass it their way( That pay it forward idea). I'm a true believer in Karma, what come around, goes around. I fiqure something will find it's way to me, the same as this can found you. Enjoy your new can and glad I could help you out.
