Narragansett King Size Variation (unlisted)

[Pbama]

Picked up another can variation today. Guy pulled the below 3 cans (before and after cleaning pictures) out of a Nashua NH demo. BCCA book appears to only show the enamel gold variation. Anybody have the metallic gold variation like the one in middle below?

Storzman? If he don't have it will be rare

@Pbama Paul The gold metallic version which is a continental looks to be different that the one in the supplemental which is a keglined. @storzman was supposed to be adding more from his 16oz cans....

The can I have looks metallic to me, compared to the metallic zip, both are Keglined 23-A.
Pictures show other cans, either Continental 48 or Keglined 23-A but with rust, tarnish, so hard to tell.
Your metallic is a Continental 48.
Narragansett bought cans from American, Continental and National (maybe also Crown) so enamel and metallic variations are out there. Common, tough or overlooked, who knows?

@oldindiapaleale it’s so hard to tell whether your zip is enamel or metallic when not sitting side by side with a definite variation. Your first pic looks metallic but third pick looks enamel; guess it all depends on lighting!

Definitely the lighting. The gold does shine when held in hand.
Your enamel cans look enamel in your pictures, whereas the four examples I have do not have that same appearance. Maybe the enamel is less common? The picture in the book is inconclusive.
