The #s are:

Thanks Randy, I appreciate it. There are no volumes recorded on the cans but I think about 4+ Gallons. Great logo on the can in the lower picture.

Old cans, greater than 100 years old I thought. A bit beat up but what do you expect. As we age we accumulate a few nicks, dents and scratches! Anyway Trevor as Dave suggests use the completed auctions on the eBay search function. Your can will likely be in the same range $100-325.
