Found this the other week in a reclamation yard, I think it'd been stood outside for many years which made it all the more surprising that the fragile lettering had survived at all. It advertises Golden Film "Aero" oil, perhaps dating as far back as the 1930s?



Anyone else here collect old oil or fuel tins?

I have some old oil bottles from the late 1920s. Oil used to come in big drums, and they would fill several quart bottles to place beside the pump island. This was well before oil was packaged into individual quart containers.
