Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Product container of the month PCOTM

Well everyone..its the first and time to kick off PCOTM. Thanks to all who participated and viewed QOTM. This series will be a little different. Featuring product containers of all shapes and sizes from handy oilers to barrels, metal glass plastic whatever..if they used it we want to see it. at first I thought i would break it down by company but while talking with Pops he mentioned running with the alphabet theme like we did in QOTM. I like this idea so this month...we start at the beggining with the A's. Any product container starting with A. Could be Amoco, Atlantic or something more obscure..if it starts with an A and it held product..we would love to see it. I will kick it off with an Andersons HD Motor oil quart from the Andersons wearhouse market Maumee oH.



thanks all. I hope you enjoy this new feature

This was starting to look like Quart of the Month so I thought that I'd throw in a variety pack.

Thanks Bob and Curt...yes indeed ..its all about Variety in PCOTM

Great stuff Ethan. Thanks for posting.

Here are a couple of Atlas containers from the mid 1970's.
A 12ounce spray can of ice remover and a 6 1/2 ounce spray can of air freshener....its minty. It says so right on the can.

For those that are new to the hobby, Atlas was a TBA (tires, batteries, and accessories) company owned by Standard of New Jersey (Esso), Standard of Indiana, Standard of Kentucky, Standard of California, and Standard of Ohio (Sohio).
