1940s Rupert Knickerbocker beer can found in a wall

One of the engineers here where I work knows I collect bottles and stuff, and spotted this in the debris of a wall tear down today. It dates to when this place was built in the 1940s, and has only the slightest damage on the side as shown in the last picture. Score!

I got 4 different similar Rupperts. I don't have that variation though. I do have the much tougher Withdrawnfree of IRTP for Exportation variation though. Is that one for sale? LEON. P.S. Your can dates to around 1947-49.

1947-49 is the right date for sealing up the original walls here. Stuyvesant Town came online in 1948. Leon, PM me for purchasing details.
