Claes , that is a Great looking can , do all Outboard brands in sweeden have that style of cans ? or was Mobil the only one?

and.... a few more from ken (liquid nirvana)..

over the top evinrude ranger... mine should only look that good !!...

Chris,
I actually meant the "design" with the brushstroke, where it says Mobiloil.
All Mobiloil cans during the early 50s had this stroke with different wording i.e.
"Mobiloil", "for use with 2-stroke engines" or "triple action".

The type of can with the small screw on cap was used mainly for the different types of oil that would not necessarily be used all at once - for Outboard and other 2 stroke engines (Mobiloil D) and Mobilube.
I may have seen it in other brands as well, but I am not sure.

I have asked kmann to limit future posts in this topic to petroliana items. In this topic we have seen some great outboard oil cans, signs and related items, but in the last dozen pages there have been 117 boat, motor and fishing tackle pictures and 30 petro pictures. In the last 3 pages, 39 boat and motor pictures and 4 petro pictures.

We try to keep a fairly tight focus on gas, oil and auto service memorabilia. Several members have commented that we have strayed away from that focus here. While some members no doubt enjoy vintage boating memorabilia, I ask that this topic not have additional boat, motor or fishing tackle pictures posted. Members wishing to see an outstanding display of that subject can search for "LIQUID NIRVANA" on Google.

Photos of boats and outboard motors are welcome to be posted on the Non-Petro forum.
