Well as of tonight I see it is up to $888.89 with 22 bidders. If any body wants to bid on it the last bidder is up to his limit. He is only 89 cents above the other bidder. $5.00 above his bid and if nobody else bids its yours.

Has anyone ever seen another of these quarts? It looks real but then i have not seen one of the supposedly made up ones as i heard they are hard to tell from original cans.
ebay 190333441452 I wonder about the original question here... Has anyone ever seen another of these? Or for that matter has anyone ever heard of this company? Or know which company put this out?

Hey Gaspedler, good question. I am also in Indiana and I have never seen or heard of this company or can. Looking forward to hear if anyone else has ever seen or heard of it.

I have never seen this company or can before. I am big into cans and have seen a lot of cans and never remember this one. I have seen other bogus cans that are one of a kind that are fantasy quarts. Shall be interesting to see the outcome on this one. Ted

I think this can was on ebay before??? I pay strong prices for Indian cans, but would have wanted to hold this one. I have held some very good qt repo's wrapped in vinyl and unless you hold them and pick at the seam hard to tell. From across the pond put a redflag for up me on a US can, possible yes, But? Also my gut feeling was fake. IF it is real someone got a good buy but I doubt it.

I would rather miss out on a few GOOD deals than make 1 BIG MISTAKE. What threw me off was the Can Makers Mark [next to seam], I've never seen before.

I wish someone on here bought it so we could find out the verdict. We may never know. If the buyer isn't familiar with those vinyl wraps, he may set it on his display shelf and never know the difference or feel any reason to suspect otherwise.

After a quick search, I see a Belgian ebay seller sold the same can for about $75 a month ago. I couldn't make out if it is the exact same can, but it does have the same graphics. My rudimentary high school french tells me that this seller claims its original. Ebay #160350590046

There are several things that make it look like the same can. It looks like the 3 holes side by side on the lid are the same. Plus the scratches by the Indian's nose and chin in the white area are in both pictures. The scratch in the E in super is identical. There are numerous others visible that are the same also, no need to mention all of them. I don't think that proves it's authenticity, but it sure indicates a healthy profit from $75 to $1652.

This might be old news but I looked back at the feedback from the buyer to the seller of this can and he said "nice rare, vintage quart oil can." Apparently he was happy with his $1652 purchase. His name was mroilcanman. I don't know that it means he knows fake from real oil cans, but you would think it ought to. Still, the fact that no one here has one in their collection or has even seen one in person is unusual.

I know mroilcanman personally. He is a great guy and knows his stuff...I am sure it was real.
I offer quart can re-lidding, can rolling, lid stamping, and dent removal.
