Type Cone (HP), 12-2, Wide Price 100
Company Continental Can Company Code CCC 5?
Details Green paintover alcohol statement. Very similar to 39-08 but with the alcohol statement blocked out with a green line around the can.

Very possible the brewery was simply trying to save $$$ and couldn't use the alcohol statement cans if the beer contents didn't match the statement. It might indeed have been cheaper to pay someone to slap some paint on by hand than to pay the goverment any fines...
