not very exciting to most but i found this local peice today in the scrap pile at a local farm. Its an early bulk kerosene or oil dispenser drum from the Barkhausen Oil company , Laurium Michigan (about 10 miles from here). its been outside forever and you can still make out the lettering, barely. I have only read and seen advertisments in old papers, directories, archives etc about the barkhausen oil company, but now i have a piece of it !

Looking for H.S. Goodell , Barkhausen , Gitchee Gumee, and other Local Upper Peninsula Michigan oil company items.
