Some call them "rocker" and then some call them "roller" cans.
Whatever you call them, that's this months' collectible of the month.
Lets clean 'em up and snap those pictures...I for one would like to see them.
I don't have any, but I sure like them...I collect enough different gas and oil items and I just can't collect everything .
If you can't or don't know how to post pictures just e-mail them to me and when time allows I will post them for you.
.
So guys and dolls....it's time to ROCK and ROLL!!!!!

This can belongs to Greg/bustermonty...took the image from buys of the week....sorry Greg but felt like I needed to at least post a picture of one....hope that's allright.....
.

what period of time were rocker/roller cans made and used?

Hey Paddy, here are a couple Sinclair rocker cans. Some had decals, some were painted. As always, be careful, some cans are being restored, new paint and logo.

here a few of mine, very hard to find mint ones though.

Paddy this is the only rocker cans I have but they are RUFF.
EN-AR-CO and Tiger Gambel Auto Supply.

OK Paddy! Let's rock n roll. Here are 5 of my better condition ones.

A few more

I would be proud to own any of these that have been posted so far.....like I said before, I don't own any...maybe a few would be nice.
If you have a can like the ones already posted, It doesn't matter. Post it anyway...no matter what the condition is.

lets see some more!!

these were sent to me from our our oldgas member and my very good friend Maurice/souperhigh.

Yo Mick....did ya see where the last can is from?....hummmm I wonder if it's the same?

couple more from Maurice/souperhigh.

and another one from Maurice/souperhigh...
One killer can Maurice.

some more from our very own souperhigh's collection.

Northwestern....gee my daughter attends Northwestern State Univ.
I like the barb wire border on this can.



Like I said earlier, I would love to have any of the ones posted in this tread.....since I don't own a single one.
Now this early Pan Am stuff from New Orleans really knocks my socks off.





Hey buddy...how can I talk you out of the pan am?
I promise not to post any more pix's like this.

Paddy,
You forced me to get a new apron from the tool store.
By the way buddy not only has the price of the Pan-Am just gone up but the Yankees ended with the best record in Baseball.
You Red Sox fan,with a wonderful wife that is a Yankee fan.
Enjoy LSU playing Florida next week !!
I will send you more rocker can pic's.
Maurice

Maurice, that's a nice champlin can. Thanks Jack

which one paddy?the enarco?not the same one.i wanna see more pics of maurice in an apron!!LOL

Mick.....take a good look at the crystal motor oil can...

oops...your the south shore guy......
like roseanne, roseanna danna use to say....
never mine...................

DOH!!

Now that's the first time I've seen a paper label on one of these easy pours. Never even knew there was such an animal. That has to be an amazing piece to have considering how easily that paper could have been destroyed over the years. I know these were used a long time ago (at least the '20s) and does anyone have some idea to Paddys' original question as to time frame of usage. I've always wondered if they stopped using them before the '40s and do any pre-date the teens.

found this in kansas...

Anyone ever see a Pennant Rocker can?

Joey

NICE ROLLERS GUYS! LET'S SEE SOME MORE!

IF I HAD A NICE ONE I'D POST IT. MINE WOULD BE A HYVIS IF I HAD A CHOICE!

Joey, Is this the Pennant can?

Thats it! I found one up in MO for $75.00 but its alot rougher than that one.

Joey

Rocker cans rock :-)
Here is my one and only...decent cheap auction purchase.

Doc.,
I have one and have sent Paddy a picture of it. Should be on the site soon. Now an Invader can would be very nice to have !

I know this is a little late, but then again better late than never.
I would like to thank those that contributed to last months (september) Collectible....Petro/ auto advertising clocks.
