                    Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc ("SBHC") and
          Salomon Brothers International Limited ("SBIL") hereby amend
          their joint Statement on Schedule 13D dated April 23, 1996
          relating to the 4.5% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
          $41.8875 (the "Preferred Stock"), of Crown Cork & Seal Company, 
          Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Issuer") such Statement
          on Schedule 13D, the "Schedule 13D"), as set forth below.  All
          terms defined in the Schedule 13D have the same meanings in this
          Amendment.

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                    (a-b)  The Following paragraphs are hereby inserted
          after the third paragraph.

                    At 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on
          May 6, 1996, SBI owned 119,201 shares of Preferred Stock and
          SBIL owned 497,550 shares of Preferred Stock.  In its Current
          Report on Form 8-K dated March 1, 1996, the Issuer indicated that
          12,432,622 shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding
          as of February 26, 1996.  Based on such information, the 119,201
          shares owned by SBI represent in the aggregate less than 1% of
          the Preferred Stock outstanding, the 497,550 shares owned by SBIL
          represent in the aggregate approximately 4.00% of the Preferred
          Stock outstanding and the 616,751 shares indirectly beneficially
          owned by SBHC represent in the aggregate approximately 4.96% of
          the Preferred Stock outstanding.

                    By reason of their relationship, Salomon Inc and SBHC
          may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect
          to Preferred Stock owned by SBI, and Salomon Inc, SBHC, SIL, SIF
          and Salomon Europe may be deemed to share voting and dispositive
          power with respect to Preferred Stock owned by SBIL.

                    Except as described above, neither SBHC nor SBIL nor,
          to the best knowledge of SBIL or SBHC, any of Salomon Inc, SIL,
          SIF, Salomon Europe or the persons listed in Annexes A, B, C, D,
          E or F hereto beneficially owned any Preferred Stock at 4:00
          p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on May 6, 1996.

                    As of April 29, 1996, SBIL ceased to be the beneficial
          owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of 
          Preferred Stock.  As of May 6, 1996, SBHC ceased to be the
          beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding 
          shares of Preferred Stock.

                    (c)  The following paragraphs are hereby inserted 
          after the second paragraph:

                    The dates, numbers of shares and prices per share
          for all purchases and sales of Preferred Stock by SBIL
          after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on April 22, 
          1996 and prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on 
          May 6, 1996 are shown on Annex H hereto, which is incorporated
          herein by reference.  All such purchases and sales of Preferred 
          Stock were effected on the New York Stock Exchange.  No such
          purchases and sales of Preferred Stock were made by SBI after 
          4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on April 22, 1996 
          and prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on 
          May 6, 1996.

                    Except as described above, neither SBHC nor SBIL nor,
          to the best knowledge of SBIL or SBHC, any of Salomon Inc, SIL,
          SIF, Salomon Europe or the persons listed on Annexes A, B, C, D,
          E or F hereto made any purchases or sales of Preferred Stock from
          December 17, 1995 through 4:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings
