Vintage


It just crossed my mind...do they even make oil cans like this anymore?  I am going to have to look for one.  If I can remember.


These two shots overlap...couldn't make up my mind which I liked best so just posting both.


Also, I did not pay a bit of attention to the prices of these, but next time I am there, I will.

    The lubricant can looks too much like Campbell's soup. But you are RIGHT! Phil doesn't think they make these oil cans anymore. Remember the Tin Man being squirted with one?

    My dad had one of these oil cans and my brother has it. Two houses ago, our neighbor had a collection of oil cans that he had collected over the years.

    I like those oil cans in the first pictures. I think those are now replaced with plastic containers.

    I haven't seen any oilcans like that for many years. Nice to see them again.

    Oil cans make a great collection.
    I don't think they make those kinds any more either, though I do remember them and I think we even have one or two in our garage now!
    Great photos.

    Wow, those are old oil cans. I love the vintage pictures that you often take, Rose. That red oil can with the "Chevron" is so cool. I'll show my son that picture. : )

    Wow! What great photos. It has been a long time since I've see oil cans like these. They are reminding me of the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz!
