No, partsvoice. He didn't give me a price when I called yesterday morning. He only had one. He called me back and left a voice mail and said he would let me have it for $125 if I was still interested. Ya, right. The other vendor has 22 or of them. I called them yesterday morning about the price and he said he'll let me know Monday what the price will be. Knowing how they price their stuff compared to everyone else ......I bet $250 or more.

I bought these for 50 cents a piece from an ancient NAPA clear out the warehouse sale....

Damn, how old are those??? I never seen metal containers for oil, wow.

I don't know. I could never find any of them on the internet. The 1st two are probably from the 50's the last ones probably the 60's.

Always comforting to see others buy or keep such useless junk as well.

My man cave has Mopar and Green Bay Packer stuff as decor. The women all say "what are you doing with that junk in your house"? LOL!

Had to get up and walk three steps in the living room to find this. LOL

Way to make me feel old. When I was growing up and even when I first started driving oil always came in cans and the pump jockeys carried these metal spigots they used to pierce the top and let them pour the oil into your engine. If you had an oil filler tube on your engine the spigot would let them insert it there and leave it alone to drain into the engine while they cleaned your windshield.

Get this: when I was in grade 8 the teacher gave us a project one day to draw/write a make-believe advertisement. I picked Gulf engine oil and dreamed up a milk carton-ish container for it. She was unimpressed. I should have patented it.

I bet that Gunk Neo Met would make a fabulous upholstery,fabric cleaner for grease and oil stains. It is so old that a Google search for that name returns nothing at all related to it.

Its not, you'll have to go on an extreme diet

Yeah, I cant imagine that 250lb of ugly fat would boil down that far.

Wow, that's really cool.

You could probably build a vintage Moparts dealer parts department and use it as a museum.

That's impressive!

More space I dont have. I suppose much of that came along with parts stashes?
