Neither of my 2 guide books cover Quaker State. Strange. Well, one does but it only shows 1 can and it's an old '20's square can.
Can anyone date these or post pic(s)from a book showing their age?
Thank you!!!

The top can was used right up to 1973. I can vouch as I knew the Quaker state distributor and a few of the delivery personell. The middle can , uh I've seen that can in as late as 1949 advertising ............... Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

Hmm... thanks guys. I was hoping for something more precise. But it seems as though these may transcend quite a few years. Hmm...
thanks though for the info.
If anyone can be more specific and/or post proof it would be greatly appreciated.

Dale,
Thanks for the emails. That rack and the cans are awesome!! You need to post that pic and info in this thread so everyone can share.
Again thanks very much!! I'll be looking up the guide book you mentioned!
