Any thoughts on what volume of tuna is intended here?
I’m not aware of a Number 1/2 can, and the smallest can with a 1/2 in its name was the 2-1/2, which had an internal volume of about three and a half cups, so it wasn’t that. Tuna tended to come in cans that were either just under six ounces or around seven ounces, so I’m guessing it’s a seven-ounce can, or maybe one and a half seven-ounce cans?
Thoughts?
