I do not know the history of this can, I bought it at an estate sale. It does not have any markings that I Can see.The can is 8 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter at its base. As you can see in the photos it has some rust on it. It had oil in it when I bought it so it does not leak as far as I can tell. This would make a great display piece or could be used for oil. I offer speedy shipping and combined shipping with the purchase of more than one item. Please check out my eBay store for more great vintage items.
