I believe this to be one of the first kegs marked Pabst after the Ph. Best transition. What is most unusual about is is the laminate construction of the staves and heads as opposed to the usual solid, quarter sawed construction. Probably driven by some back office bean counter, its drawbacks would have been obvious early on.
