I call them Greek Key cans. I believe the yellowing is age. Some of these are NOS and still have a nice shine and are the most white. Then again it probably has to do with how they were stored for the past 85+ years

Very nice Dan! These are getting hard to find in any condition now a days... I'll keep my eyes peeled for yeah.
I like the yellowing of the paint better then the white. Just looks cool IMO. Good luck with your search! Looking for 5 quarts too, or?? I have a oil can book with some gargoyle quarts and 5 quarts. I'll send yeah a list of the ones they have in it.
Thanks Noah
Looking for any cans! PM me what ya got!
