Yeah I posted one for sale with the standing Dino. Seems like copper plated ones were only a few years in production as most are not.

Randy, I have a couple Barnsdall quarts with the copper plated lids..... Darin, if you don't mind would you please post picture of what you have, I've never seen any other company besides Sinclair- these cans I believe are 30's, maybe they started off using copper & found it wasn't cost sufficient to do. Thank You-...

Hi Randy, all... Sorry for the delay, I was out looking for goodies today!  Here are my pair of Barnsdalls with the copper plated tops and insides, just like is visible inside the Sinclair Opaline quart you posted. I found these at a local antique market in the fall of 2012. The seller had 4 total, and boy do I wish I would have bought all 4 for $15 each instead of just the two I bought. Oh well, live and learn I guess! Darin  Close up of tops......
