I've never heard of that company Jack. Maybe a small local company?

I don't really know anything about the company, but I do recall seeing a rectangular 1 gallon oil can on E-bay last year sometime. Like the photo indicates, it was marked Lima Ohio too.

I really wasn't looking for information about Lilly White, I just figured any oil company with that kind of name might be interesting.
Just goes to show you, ask a question here on OG and there will always be someone who knows something.
Thanks for the replies.

The only Lilly White I knew about was a saloon singer in Baker Oregon during the gold rush days. A local miner fell in love with here. He named his next gold mine the Lilly White and gave all the money to her. Trouble was there was no gold. Every night he would salt the mine. She fell in love with another man so he got mad and blew up the mine. The real trouble was is that the Chinese works were still in the mine when he did it. True story. Richard
