I went with my wife to an auction that listed a lot of glassware and sewing stuff. Nothing there for me, so I started poking around in an old barn. A young man came up to me and asked me what I was doing. He said that nothing was for sale in there. Just as he said that I spotted a case of GULF cans in the corner. I told him that I collect oil cans. He said that he would ask his dad if they were for sale. Dad came and said “we don’t have that old tractor anymore, what will you give me for the cans? Most of them are empty.”
Anyhow, I got them.
The Gulf cans are plastic with a metal top. I have been told that this was an experiment by Gulf and not many plastic metal top cans were made. Does anyone know why Gulf made a few of these plastic cans? See, it pays to listen to your wife.
