Now that is Art Deco. Nice looking Alemite stuff-what it is I don't know,? various weighted oil dispensers?, I can't make out the other two labels, but it looks cool.

Hello. So someone told me the royalene. Motor oil 2 gallon can in picture. Is really rare. Great graphics. Has a oil tanker. With a guy sitting in it. And oil tower.With the factory. De sign in background sending out smoke...With a what seems to be a dust cloud. Design behind that....regardless. I guess he says that can alone can be$300-500 or more. This may be low number?. In good condition. ..any support on this . Thanx old gas

The Sinclair can could be worth something. Sort of hard to tell condition by the picture. I have seen decent ones bring over $100, nice ones $250 and up, very nice ones $400 and up, depending on condition.
