Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Petroliana Value Questions 5 Quart Oil Can - Gilmore Lion Head

Folks,

My friend Dave asked me what I thought this can is worth. I would appreciate if anyone can help. This can belonged to his uncle.

Here is Dave's e-mail:

Hi Henrik, here is the can as found. Still full of oil, one pic I rubbed the can in a red area to see if it might clean up and it came out a nice red. One shallow dent near the solder seam, otherwise no other dents or leaks. Let me know what you find out. Thanks, Dave.

value would depend on how well can cleans up-
5qt that is a different story- not to many of those around, alot nicer than mine- value ALOT..
wax that up & re-post- I can see big numbers

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait til '5 quart' sees this...he's probably got it already....

this can is going to suprise you!

2-300 IMO

5qt doesn't have it-
easily will bring 4 digits +, depends on how well it cleans up-
VERY RARE..

Not what you guys think. There were two of them at Roy Reeds. One sold for $150 in about this condition and the other was for sale fo $250 but I don't think it sold

I would gladly pay the 150!!!!!(this is not an offer in this forum just a comment)

I collect 5 quarts.....

watch them on Ebay....they sell 4 more than any other can..

If 5 quart has over 800 cans and doesn't have this one....

what does that say...

Ray, who had these 5qts at Roy's- were talking 5qt not 1qt-
when I bought mine, 5qt contacted me- quote (I didn't see that on ebay, I don't have that) listed on ebay wrong category were I found it-

Ray, I'd like to upgrade this piece of ***** I got
Put me in touch with who had the 5qts at Roy's
Value on 5qt above: would depend on how well it cleans up..

Note: after above post noticed subject 5qt & mine are different..

advertologist, your 'PUREST PENNSYLVANIA' can is rarer, in both 1 and 5 qt. The 'MONARCH OF OIL' version is what you usually see when available.

Henrik's friend has listed the 5 qt on ebay...

Item number: 330729610219

check out Henrik's friends can on Ebay now!!!!

see why I would have gladly paid 150.00 !!!

IF that can doesn't sell for Over $500, it'll surprise me [& a lot of others].

It's at $501 now, DB.

It was still at $28? when I posted above!

$511 now. I'm thinking that if I put a $666 bid on it, wouldn't last a couple hours as someone wouldn't be able to live without seeing their name at top... even though 5 days are left to go. The can will likely be won within the last 10 seconds of the auction.
