Looking for one in good condition - Can anyone comment on their value and what time period they were from ?

I've seen (and have) some of the composit ones. I'm guessing they had metal also? Mine are gold while I believe there are greenish versions also. Can't speak to value but I'm guessing it's not much

Workingmans friend was in Indiana middle 50s to late 60s had some metal 5 gallon cans and paper quarts many moons ago! replaced our local Wake up station. Dan

Best bet to find a can is run a add in Indiana, your find one for sure, best can is the blue metal can with muscular built man with a metal hard hat and a metal lunch can, remember like it was yesterday, I think it came in white too.
