You see this one before? I can't find anything on it. Looking for a fair trade value so I know I can fairly trade and not offend or be offended.

Your heading says "Rare" so you must know something
about it. Condition doesn't look to be so good and that
Determines more value than rarity with that can. If your lucky it
might fetch 100 bucks.

Ok, I know it's rare because every Google search I can't find a black label purity 99. So I knew that much but without finding any info on value or real rarity

Eye appeal and desirability contribute greatly to the price too.
I agree with Minuteman.

I find it interesting " if ain't on Google" then it's something special. In my world, in my hands, graphics, condition and brand are everything. Just sayin. Les

There is very little information on the net about Canadian brands, especially the western ones, except for sites like Old Gasoline Signs. Gas and Oil Products was bought out by Anglo American Exploration of Calgary in 1953. In 1963 British American bought the company and continued to run it until 1965. Purity 99 gas stations disappear from the phone books in 1966. The other week I sold a red striped quart with the blue Purity letters, same as the far right quart, for $125 Cdn. to a local big quart collector. It was in good condition but not mint. Condition is paramount and to me getting a $100 for your quart would be really amazing. Of course so many things are happening in this hobby these days that the unbelievable is becoming the new normal. Cheers, Don

Thank you guys for all the help. I really appreciate the knowledge
