David Clark is selling a can of smog that was canned by actor Calton Young in 1957.

“Pretty extraordinary little can,” Clark told KNX News’ Karen Adams. “[It’s] well-crafted with a lot of detail that picks out a lot of unique things [about] Los Angeles and has really cool film reel going all around it as well.”

Listed on the can is what's inside - some hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, organic oxides, aldehydes, and formaldehydes.

Those interested in purchasing the can will have to pay a pretty penny - $775 to be exact.

You can check out the listing here.
