Four old oil barrels.
They are not cherry but they are pretty cool.
Do they have any value or are they just cool shop trash cans?

Mobils seem pretty common to me, but that Shell looks older an probably rarer.


Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

At 120 lbs I think they were for gear oil. That shell can is really cool.

Not in the greatest condition, but 30-50 for someone looking for patina'd cans at a swap meet. I'd snatch every one up for $20 all day long around here. They display well on top shelves, can be used for trash cans, stools, can be cut into and made into shelves mounted to wall. The Shell looks to be earliest can, but also in worst condition, but all of them are more appealing than modern Mobil, Castrol cans.

Paid $35 for a really nice Mobil one in an antique store last year.
