The piece features a ribbed galvanized cylindrical body with original red painted bands, a domed top with a screw cap, and an angled spout with its original threaded lid. The wire handle is finished with a turned wooden grip, adding to its authentic utilitarian charm.
Time-borne patina, oxidation, paint wear, and surface scuffs give this can a wonderfully rustic, workshop-grade character—ideal for farmhouse decor, industrial loft styling, garage displays, or as a sculptural decorative object. Its proportions (11.5” tall × 8.5” diameter) make it a striking standalone accent.
A great collectible for lovers of early American tools, petroliana, and functional industrial art.
