I've had this can around for years... dug it out of an old junk pile, found it a few feet under the dirt if you can believe it. I did a search on this site and found no mention of this brand. Any Ideas?

I just did a google search and found that the company was bought out by a french company in 1932 and still exists today. This can has some french on it, so it must be post '32 but still old enough to have been manufactured in the US. Maybe I better go back to that old dump and see if any more survive!

Dave..I would surely go to that dump and poke around for stuff. I am sure if yo uspent some time digging you would come home with more treasures. Good luck and let us know how it turns out and what you score.

Since it has some French on it. I would assume it is the same company that around today. They make high performace lubes for the powersports industry. Some of the oils I've seen are still made in France and some here in the US.
