Most of my oil cans are local small companies that are no longer in business. I have several from Dryer Clark and Dryer and I know that there are hundreds of the cardboard blue Mother Penn cans.
Several months ago I found a blue all metal, crimped seam can. It is full unopened 10w30. I've searched ebay and other sights and have not seen one. I did find it in American oil cans vol one.
Has anybody had or seen this can?

Honestly the metal Mother Penn cans are quite common... Most, of the one's that I have owned, have been empty ... But, over the years I've owned a few full cans...
