I won an Archer Oil PENETRATING OIL 4oz can with paper label this morning. I've never noticed this type container from Archer before. I only have the auction # 300390521017, until it arrives from the seller in the next few days. My question to those that collect oilers, what do you think of this can? For $15.50, I couldn't lose. Just wondered what you guys think, as I don't find anything like it under Archer Oil in the "Drop of Oil" guides. I think it will look great in my Oil Company Handy/Household oiler display. I still have a couple of spots that need to be filled. URL=http://img685.imageshack.us/i/handyoilers2110.jpg/] [/URL]

The can is here. Mike, you are right. The new can fits right in next to my other 2 Archer Oilers. URL=http://img695.imageshack.us/i/archeroiltins.jpg/] [/URL] Kevin, somehow I was able to find another shelf, so the hunt for Oil Company oilers will go on, LOL.

Nope, I have a "special" little area for "non" Oil Company oilers. I wouldn't want anyone to think I don't appreciate the "3-in-1" folks, LOL (Moved the Mystic and Pyroil oilers to this area, also)URL=http://img504.imageshack.us/i/miscoilers2410.jpg/] [/URL]

Bob, I can see a couple of shell cans, any "soap box derby lubricant"? I have one and was wondering how rare it was or wasn't, no I don't want to part with it.

I do have a Shell Soapbox Lube can. The Shell are ... not real rare (IMO) see them on ebay at times. There are a couple of other Oil Companies that also had "Soapbox Derby" oil/lube tins, but they didn't mark them as plainly as Shell did. For those that don't have Shell "Soapbox Derby" lube tin, here is a photo of what Pyle and I are talking about; URL=http://img708.imageshack.us/i/shelloilsmallcontainers.jpg/] [/URL]

Thanks Bob, Just like the one I have. How do you clean the cans to get slight rust off of tops and dress up the painted parts?

I use either Dawn dish washing detergent or GO-JO to clean my cans and tins. Depending on how old and how rough the can or tin is, depends on which I use. GO-JO will take off tar and heavy soiling, but can remove a top layer of paint if one isn't careful. Dawn takes a little longer, but does a nice job. I also use one of those battery operated toothbrushes. (I get mine at the dollar store) I pick up a "soft" brush and it works great for loosening up dirt and grime. For rust, the best thing I have found is a square of alum foil. Takes the rust right off.
