Picked this visible up this weekend, my first (I'm a youngin' but I've been collecting for quite awhile). Has a mint etched glass cylinder and original brass nozzle and holster. Don't have a model on it, though it is made by Filling Station Supply Co, Toronto Canada.

MADE A SHORT TRIP TO OHIO THERE ARE A LOT OF COLLECTORS AND CAR GUYS THERE.I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP SUM STUFF.

I thought that I was going to have to give up one of my visible pumps in trade for this can collection, but I was able to trade some non-petro stuff and still get the cans. I'm estimating that I got 300-400 cans mostly oil and auto related with some household products. These are some of the best of the lot with the exception of most of the quarts (too many to show).



Here are some of the better quarts and handy oilers.



Was very happy about the number of Veedol/Flying A cans.



Had to spend a day building some new shelves in the museum to display the cans.



Definitely have a lot of "wall filler" now.

POOR MAN... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT... GIMME A BREAK !!!... change your name to lucky man... nice stuff...

hey.. poor... i mean lucky... you wanna' sell that texaco outboard... let me know !!!

WOW some nice additions to the RICH oinks museum! just kidding
Keep the pictures coming.

Added another Bardahl can to my rack.



I've seen a bunch of Socony paint cans, but this is the first I've seen labeled as auto paint.



I just like this brand name, Car Skin.

JIM, "CAR SKIN," HUH? GOTTA LOVE THOSE OLD CATCHY NAMES! LOVE THAT SOCONY PAINT CAN....FIRE RED AND "LEADED" I'M SURE! YUMMY!

POOR MAN, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH KMANN ABOUT THE "LUCKY MAN" TITLE! CERTAINLY A NICE HAUL, AND A WET DREAM IN ANYBODY'S WILDEST CAN COLLECTING IMAGINATION! "DECK THE WALLS!" SHOULD BE YOUR THEME SONG THIS CHRISTMAS WHICH HAS COME EARLY FOR YOU!

GREAT STUFF EVERYBODY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

DOC @ TAG/WEST

I tried talking my wife into letting me use some of the cans for tree ornaments, but she wouldn't give any ground.

Here's what I traded for the cans. Two old french doors I salvaged from a remodel, a small pile of used bricks, an old wood washtub stand, a California poppy sign an old ABT penny gun game in bad shape and a few other small items from my "junk" pile.

One mans junk is another mans...junk!

DOC & CURT, My mom does a petroleum tree in their downstairs rec room. I will try and take a picture of it at Christmas time......
