I always smile when I read a post like "always lookin" (not picking on you, as we seem to get a lot of new members who are shocked by values of some smalls)... Oil cans from some of the smaller companies do go for big money and hold there value even when not in the best of condition...
The same for Handy Oilers from these companies... Here is one from Johnson Oil that ended almost 2 weeks ago. # 180636258556
Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread... figured some of those who have been passing on theses smalls, might read this thread and rethink about passing them by at a antique store or swap meet the next time they see an old Gilmore can or ......

On the other hand, I have been collecting for over 20 years and have NEVER found an oil can worth more than $50. out in the wild. They are out there, but there are also very few of the high dollar cans unfound so don't go and start buying anything.
