Hi everyone, I’m Jennifer and found this in the basement of an old house. I’m not a collector so I’m wondering if this is a common item you all see a lot of, or even know how old it might be? Thanks for the help.

How about posting a picture of the back and the bottom? I have never seen anything like it and am wondering if it might have been a parts washer. Is there a motor and pump in it?

Kerosene tank probably.
Guessing 1920 - 30's.

These were kerosene dispensers. They’re not that uncommon but for some reason not that sought after. Usually they still have legible graphics like this one does. I guess because they were probably used inside for dispensing kerosene for lamp oil and the like. Not sure on the age but probably 20’s or earlier. I almost bought one a few years ago but couldn’t haul it that day. Always thought they were cool….GB

Thank you! You all are very helpful!
