Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container bottom and insert combination, the insert including anti-nesting projections that are illustrated in dashed lines to indicate that the projections form no part of the claimed design, the container bottom being formed of metal and the insert being formed of plastic, the contrasting metal and plastic materials forming a part of the claimed design;

FIG. 2 is a top view of the container bottom and insert combination of FIG. 1 that also illustrates the anti-nesting projections in dashed lines, the projections forming no part of the claimed design;

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the container bottom and insert combination of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a front view of the container bottom and insert combination of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a rear view of the container bottom and insert combination of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 6 is a left-side view of the container bottom and insert combination of FIG. 1, which is also a mirror image of the right side view, which has therefore been excluded.

Claims

I claim the ornamental design for the container bottom and insert combination for a tobacco can, as shown and described.
