Here is a can I recently purchased on eBay! Thought the condition was once and a fair price. The first 2 pics are from the listing the 3rd and 4th pic are the can that arrived! Pretty sure it's the same can! At least the seller claims it to be..."it's the only veedol can I have" So I thought it would be fun post pics, although I know it will be difficult to tell the differences. Thanks,     eBay seller:rolisautoandmusclecarsllc

The seller must think that you are blind. Placement of the text on front is in different places. The text on the rear of the can is different.
I would be filing a claim...item received not as described!

What a Joke!! I saw it in two seconds that it's not the same. Look at the placement of the text relative to the features on the can.

You got scammed. I had the same thing with a Texaco quart a few years ago. Won it on ebay and guy sent a pos thinkin I would accept. Wrong!
Send it back with proper feedback.
Good luck!

I hope it was an honest mistake because I like to believe that most people in this hobby "ARE" basically honest, but the differences are so blatantly obvious that its hard to believe they shipped the wrong can!
Of course the seller could have told someone else to "pack up the veedol can" and this is what got thrown in the box!

How can you say it will be difficult to tell the differences? This is obviously not the same can you bid on. Among other things,just look at the WHITE "Tidewater Oil Company..Los Angeles New York" text on the back of the can in the auction. Now look at that same text on the can you received and notice it's all in BLACK and notice it says San Francisco Houston Tulsa New York. Get your money back with shipping included..

Most sellers State NO Returns, PP sees it differently.
File a PP Claim & Receive a FULL REFUND Including shipping BOTH WAYS. It IS sellers Mistake.

IMO, You got the much better end of the transaction!
The Flying V can was made and sold in approx 1956-57, right after the merger...
The Flying A can is from the early to mid 60s, right before Tidewater sold their "West Coast Interests"...
An easy way to tell; is on the back... On the "older can"... The Cities of San Fran, Houston, Tulsa and NY are named ... On the "newer can"... Just LA and NY are noted....
The Flying V can is more valuable and Collectable...
If this happened to me, I would jumping for joy...

After what Bob said about the can, List it on ebay w/ a BUY IT NOW of 3X-5X what you paid [I'll Shill a BIN], then send completed auction link to original seller & Thank Them!  sometimes Pay Back is FUN.

Randy,I had heard that before... But, I have a couple that aren't dated ...  My Flying V and my large diamond star-burst Veedol (5 gal cans) both are not dated... They have the "triple C" stamp of Continental Can and nothing else...

See..... Mean old Bob is full of great info. Thanks for that bit of knowledge as to dating the can. I will check tomorrow to see if there is a date on the can. I would love to have both cans but I think this is more about principle and an attempt to keep sellers on eBay accountable for some of the things they try to pull. If it was a mistake then ok, we all make those.......
I still haven't heard back from the seller but did open a case via eBay.
We will see what happens..
