It says in the embossed metal on the side Patened 1881, and there is a name on the bottom from Chicago. It is glass inside the metal I guess to see what the level of liqqid is. Cut can, but small. Any body know anything about this type of can? Thanks Craig

It has a small spout for pouring kersoene into the little hole in the lamps. I have a similiar one that i have had for 20 years. Jack Sim Last edited by Jack Sim; Sat Apr 17 2010 08:27 PM.
