A friend recently sent this photo of a rare 55 gallon drum that he recently bought..Only one that I have seen.

that has too be one of the better looking
55 gal drums I've seen .. ...

40's era Randy?

That is a good looking can. I am pretty sure that style pectin was used between 1941 and 1956. 5 gallon and larger cans usually have a date stamped on the bottom.

Thanks Matt.

WOW That is sweet !

I like the detail of snow on the barrel ribs.

Top of the drum--note an old term,"inflammable mixture"

What's the odds of the cap with the Shell logo still with the barrel? Great piece.

Very Nice,

Ballpark Value?

Randy may know.

Frank, thats a tuff one .. ...
due too size & too the right person probably a couple hundred dollars- I'm sure not many of those were ever saved-
we need Matt too chime in as he would be the right person..

Thanks Randy.
