I'm looking for some of the skinny 20's and 30's One Gallon Oil Cans. I have a few like this Polarine can and would like to ad to them. I seen a Capitol Motor Oil Can at Cracker Barrel yesterday, it was orange, black and white i think, very nice looking can. Would like to have one of those or open to any. If you have a Capitol i would like to have a pic because i can't find one on the net. Thanks, Owen….email and phone below

Owen,
next time you go to the Cracker Barrel your going to have to take your camera..

Randy,
I left my phone in the truck and to lazy to run and get it! LOL I thought it would be easy to find but must be kind of rare. Seem like it was white on the top half, orange on the bottom with a city scape in the middle on the front (black i think). It's at the Cracker Barrel in Franklin Kentucky, maybe someone else has seen it. I'm going to drive back down there if i can't find it. Very cool can!

OK Randy,
I've been looking for one on the net. I thought it was Capitol Motor Oil but after looking, maybe it was a older version of this Quaker City Motor oil. It was a lot cooler can then this, (skinny one gallon) i think, heck it might have been this can. Looked a lot cooler there…. I've got to quit drinking before breakfast. LOL

I was researching this can I got yesterday and came across this thread from a year or so ago. Is this the can you were looking for Owen?

Hi Jonathan,
I seen one at the Cracker Barrel in Franklin, Kentucky and it was Motor Oil and a older version i think. Also it was American, some funning writing on the back of yours. LOL Thanks, Owen

Here's a few i've added since this post.
