Hi All,
Just bought this can yesterday because I've never seen anything like it. Wondering if anyone else has ever seen one before, how rare it is, and possible value? I paid $43.00 bucks for it... All the joints appear to be hand soldered and the only research I can find on the company is 1 of their 2 Chicago factories burned down in 1894. I stopped by an old timer's house with it yesterday (Over 50 years collecting) and he said he'd never seen anything like it before. He also said he thinks it might be for lamp oil, but it says for Oil & Gasoline right on the label.
