Usually the lithograph will have a tiny date code on it. In this case the copyright year 1956 is clearly marked along the edge. However, it’s also marked with the capacity in litres, which is odd for the 1950’s. Canada adopted the metric system in 1973. Things prior to the 1970’s don’t normally have metric conversions. Very intriguing. It’s a pretty cool can. I’d clean it up and display it.
