Hello All,
I'm looking for a nice example of the can on the left in the photo below. This whole group of cans sold for $15 plus shipping on Ebay a while back, but the older Marine Outboard Special was in poor enough shape I didn't want to bid on the lot. I would like this can to display along with my Marine White globe, as I think this can is from the same era.
Thanks for any leads,
Darin

even in that shape that can was still quite valuable

I figured it wasn't all that common as I've looked since for one and haven't seen another listed. I would guess it was one of Gulf's earlier rectangular outboard cans.

Mr Clean magic erasers work wonders on cans that have marks like that.
