Welcome to Oldgas.com

I'm not familiar with this can myself. Looks like there is a lot of text on the side panel that may show it's use and the maker's name. Please post a clear photo of the side panel as a reply to this thread.

Thanks for the additional photo and info. The Zip Code shows that it was made after the start of Zip Codes in 1963. It doesn't show a UPC bar code. They were introduced in the mid-1970s and came into wide usage in the 1980s. So that means it it was probably from the 1960s to 1980s.

There was a Hydro Flame company that made RV furnaces and water heaters in Utah. Can't find a Website for them. Not likely, but possibe, they are the same company as your can.

If the duck graphic was larger and more detailed it would have a graphic appeal that would make it more valued by can collectors. Looks like the cans are in nice condition. I don't have any experience with them that would help determine value.
