                           Report of Independent Accountants
       
       
       
 To the Benefit Plans Committee and Participants
 of the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc.
 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for Employees of Van Dorn Company
       
 In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
 benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
 benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
 the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for
 Employees of Van Dorn Company (the "Plan") at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and
 the changes in  its net assets available for plan benefits for the years then
 ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
 financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator; our
 responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
 on our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance
 with generally accepted accounting standards which require that we plan
 and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
 in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
 significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
 statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
 basis for the opinion expressed above.
       
 Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
 financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
 Schedules I and II  is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not
 a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
 required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statement of changes in net
 assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
 rather than to present the changes in net assets available for benefits of each
 fund.  Schedules I and II and the Fund Information have been subjected to the
 auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
 and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
 to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
for Employees of Van Dorn Company
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
    
    
1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Effective April 16, 1993, the Van Dorn Company (the "Company") was acquired by
Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. ("Crown") at which time Crown became the sponsor
of the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for 
Employees of Van Dorn Company (the "Plan"), formerly the Van Dorn Company
401(k) Plan and Trust. Refer to Note 4 for further information. The Plan is
administered by the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. Benefit Plans Committee.

The Plan maintains its financial records and prepares its financial statements 
using the accrual basis of accounting. Purchases and sales of securities are 
recorded on a trade-date basis. T. Rowe Price (the "Trustee") manages a Trust 
Fund for the Plan under the terms of a trust agreement. All of the Plan's 
investments and cash are held in the Trust Fund. The Trustee has been granted 
discretionary authority with regard to the investment of temporary cash
balances and is directed by investment managers or a committee appointed by
Crown with regard to all other investments. The investments and changes therein
of the Trust Fund have been determined through the use of current values
measured by quoted prices in active markets for all assets of the Trust Fund.

2.  Description of Plan

General.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to provide a 
convenient method by which eligible employees may save regularly through salary 
elections and through sponsor matching contributions.

The Plan covers salaried employees of the Company's corporate office, Davies Can
Company and  Central States Can Company as well as certain Plastic Machinery
Division and hourly employees of Davies Can Company. On April 20, 1993, Crown
sold Plastics to Mannesmann Capital Corporation ("Mannesmann"). Employees of
Plastics participating in the Plan were given the option of continuing to 
participate in the Plan or rolling over their account balances into a
Mannesmann sponsored plan or into their individual retirement accounts. Refer to
Note 4 for further information. Employees are eligible to participate in the
Plan after completing one year of service and attaining the age of 21. The
Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA).

Employee Contributions.  Employees who participate in the Plan can direct the
Company to withhold wages and make tax deferred contributions on their behalf.
Contributions may range from 1 percent to 16 percent of annual compensation, 
plus bonuses, up to a maximum of $9,240 per participant.

    Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
    for Employees of Van Dorn Company
    Notes to Financial Statements
    December 31, 1994


A participant's 401(k) account balance attributable to tax deferred 
contributions, taxable employee contributions, and rollover contributions is
100 percent vested at all times. A participant's 401(k) account balance
attributable to profit sharing contributions with respect to plan years prior to
January 1, 1989 becomes fully vested upon a participant reaching five years of
service.

Employer Contributions.  Effective July 1, 1990, the Company amended the Plan
and Trust to permit employer contributions. The amendment provides for the
Company to match 50 percent of employee contributions up to a maximum employee 
contribution of 4 percent of compensation. Employer contributions vest 100 
percent after five years of service. All employer matching contributions are
invested automatically in the Crown Cork & Seal Common Stock Fund.

Forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are offset against
employer contributions.

Investments.  Participants may direct their contributions among any of the 
following investments:

1. Common Stock Fund - Investing in common stock of Crown Cork & Seal.

2. T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Fund - A money market fund investing in a
   diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign U.S. dollar-denominated money
   market securities to maintain a stable share price of $1.00.

3. T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund - Investing in common stocks, fixed
   income securities and money market instruments.

4. T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income Fund - Investing primarily in a diversified 
   group of T. Rowe Price mutual funds which invest principally in fixed income 
   securities.

5. T. Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund - Investing in a diversified group of T.
   Rowe Price mutual funds which invest principally in equity securities.

Distributions.  Effective January 1, 1987, benefit payments from the Plan are 
limited to lump sum distributions. Prior to this date, former participants could
elect to have their benefits paid to them under a variety of options over an 
extended period of time.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Crown has the right under the
Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of 
plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

3.  Tax Status of the Plan

The Plan was amended and restated, effective January 1, 1994 to comply with all
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and ERISA. The Committee has
represented that the Plan has been administered in accordance with all
provisions of the IRC and ERISA.

The Company has applied for a determination letter for the Plan from the IRS. 
The determination letter is subject to review by the IRS. The Committee 
anticipates receiving a favorable determination letter from the IRS, and 
accordingly, the Trust is not subject to federal or local income taxes.

4.  Acquisition of Plan Sponsor

On April 16, 1993, the Company was acquired by Crown at which time each share 
of the Company's stock held by the Plan was converted into .542 shares of Crown
stock. The market value of each share of Crown stock on April 16, 1993 was 
$38.75.  Company stock at a historical cost of approximately $4.4 million was 
converted to Crown stock; representing a market value of approximately $6.7 
million at that date.

On April 20, 1993, Crown sold the Plastics Division to Mannesmann. Employees of
Plastics participating in the Plan transferred or rolled-over approximately 
$12.2 million to either a Mannesmann sponsored plan or to their individual 
retirement accounts during the year.
