Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Petroliana Value Questions Sunoco Can

Picked this up today and could not find it anywhere, anyone have an opinion? I know condition is poor but I am guessing 1930's and a unique product for trees and plants.

One sold on eBay March 2013 for $28 in much better condition than this one.

I think there is a better chance this can is 20's. Here is a 1925 add with the sunburst logo. It's tough to come across these sunburst cans in good shape. Cool find!
I tried to find the ebay posting Benjamin talked about, but couldn't find it.

I couldn't find it either and I looked on several different web sites besides ebay. Thanks for the info though guys and great find on the ad Steve.

I'm not too into the cans but this one had to come home with me, I hope I didn't start a new obsession.

Well Jonathan, I would hate to see develope a bad habit! Maybe I should take it off your hands?

Steve, your PM box is full so I sent you an email

Got to give kudo's and credit where it belongs. Jonathan actually offered to give this can to me for a donation to Oldgas. I can't thank him enough, and although she's a little rough, it will be very very well recieved and at home in my collection. And I thank him for his gracious offering to Oldgas which helps us all!!

P.S. I actually originally clicked on this thread from the portal page and did not even notice that it was in the "Petroliana Value" section. A section where I believe we are not supposed to make solicitations to buy. Even though I was only half kidding, I still apologize for that.

Anyway, Let's hear it for Jonathan! Hip! Hip!

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice. See? Some of us NJ guys are OK!

you're very welcome Steve. I think the thanks goes to Jim though for providing us with this website. I know I enjoy it and have learned a lot on here so it is only right to give back now and then...enjoy the can, I know it went to the right collection.
