the can is in NRA fine condition. the label is totaly intact, and has not deteriated or peeled. the can has one dime size dent near the top front. it is about 2/3 full. when i visited the dupont estate they had reproductions for sale for between $45.00-$125.00 depending on the size, type, and era. i know that these powder cans have a following, and that they are collectable.
what is it worth??? anybody want to explain or translate the labels contents??? what the h**l is the animal in the upper right hand corner??? the black powder is still in particle form, does not clump or stick together, and is dry and odorless. should it be disposed of, or can it still be used??? should it be left in the can, or would the can be better off/more saleable empty???
hope somone is a powder can/dupont buff. thanx, mike.

Hay Mike,
DuPont powder cans like yours are very common and sit on the shelf when priced at $65. I should know, I have 3 of them for sale. If you lived in Wilmington Delaware perhaps you could move it quicker.
Get rid of the powder, you don't need an accident.
Good Luck
Steve
