This months collectable of the month is one pound grease cans. I think most oil company's had these. I will start with the letter "A" by companys and try to add some each day. I have a small collection so could use some help. Post what you have when you want or send to me and I will post for you. Thanks Jack R

A good friend and collector sent these photos.thank you

I'D LIKE TO HELP BUT ALL OF MY CANS ARE PACKED AWAY FOR THE SUPPOSED FUTURE MOVE. SORRY!

YOU KNOW I'D SUPPORT THIS IF I COULD!

C'MON GUYS AND GALS - LET'S SEE SOME 1#'ERS!

I really like the grease cans I think they are under appreciated by most & still very affordable. I don't have very many but here are some of mine:










These grease cans came in many sizes here is a small collection of my mobillubrication cans:

A couple more photos from a friend and fellow collector. Thank You

Here are my few 1 pounders. I bought the Shell one because the only readable letters on the stamped part spell my name, DARIN. I just thought it was kind of neat. I know it's supposed to be DARINA-AX, but I still call it my "Darin" can.

MY VAST COLLECTION!

I think these are all I have, thanks for doing the COTM Jack!

Thank you all who have posted your 1 pound cans and those who are looking. there have been some nice looking cans posted and I am sure there are some nice rare cans out there yet to be posted Post what you want when you can Thanks Jack

Okay, I attempted to use imageshack this time. If this photo works, I'll post more.

Maybe this one will work better?

alpca, you did good,nice cans,lets see some more. Thanks Jack

MARATHON and CITIES SERVICE




PURITY and CROSS COUNTRY




I really like the early CROSS COUNTRY stuff!

FARMOIL and PENVOIL from here in Abilene




Two variations of TEXAS STATE. IMHO, the blue version is scarcer.

PRIMROSE and COSDEN




WRIGHT and THURMAR

PANTHER ... This may have had a paper label on the sides, but I really don't know.




Somewhat OT, but here's a couple of five-pounders from Wichita Falls. I consider PANHANDLE stuff to be rare, but it does show up occaisionally. I've never seen or heard of another item from FALLS. The lid is not correct.

Here's some various one pounders in my collection.

Here is one of my favorite Companies,, I need more if you have em?
