Looking to buy more of these cans. Looking for versions I don't have or upgrade cans.

Let me know what you got
Thanks
Dan

Dan,
you have a nice little collection of them- looks good.. ...

Thanks Randy!
Do you know which ones I am missing? I know i am missing some gargoyle process cans and vice versa.
What grades did they make theses in.
Arctic, Arctic Special, A, AF, BB and ....

did they ever make that style can in a 5 qt & do you have any (picture please) if so?.. ...

Yes had quite a few of them as well
Here is one that I sold awhile ago

And another

what do they call the red & black top & bottom?
checkerboard, aztec ? notice some of these qts
have a yellowish background in color- made like this
or is it due too age? .. ...

Thanks..

I call them Greek Key cans. I believe the yellowing is age. Some of these are NOS and still have a nice shine and are the most white. Then again it probably has to do with how they were stored for the past 85+ years

Very nice Dan! These are getting hard to find in any condition now a days... I'll keep my eyes peeled for yeah.

I like the yellowing of the paint better then the white. Just looks cool IMO. Good luck with your search! Looking for 5 quarts too, or?? I have a oil can book with some gargoyle quarts and 5 quarts. I'll send yeah a list of the ones they have in it.

Thanks
Noah

Noah I am not wanting the 5 quarts. Sold almost all my 5's awhile ago
Have two left and I don't even want them. Too big
Dan

Awesome cans Dan!!
Especially those top two! And the top right is really really cool!!! Do you know it's date? Certainly looks to be earlier than the rest.

i call them greek key cans too :-) here are mine

i will keep my eye out for ones you don't have and please keep me in mind for ones i don't have..we dig the same stuff my friend

also have 4 of the greek key cans, is one grade harder too get than the rest?.. ...

I would say the gargoyle process is tougher out of your 4 Randy

Dan,
how many different variations are there in the greek key qt. set?.. ...

I can think of 22 maybe more.
