There has been a steady growth of interest in collecting oil
company and automobile advertising pieces. This big new volume,
devoted exclusively to oil can containers features over 750 new
full color photographs of diverse oil cans from the 1880s to the
1980s. Included are motor oil, aviation and marine oils as well as
oils and lubricants for household use. From well known names like
Esso, Gulf, Quaker State, and Shell, to regional brands like
Kentucky Consumers, Lion Head, and Pittsburgh Penn Oil, over two
hundred-fifty brands are clearly identified. A special section
identifies the cans used by thirty-two Canadian oil companies. The
book includes helpful information for collectors including how to
identify, date, and grade the condition of a can, collectors'
resources, and a list of oil can manufacturers. This valuable
resource, featuring descriptions and estimated values of every
item, is a must for the serious gas station collector so you can
add to your collection with confidence.
