I think it is too much for the condition Mick. Just my opinion.

Mick, did it hold oil or was it a display piece ? I'd grab it for 35.

I have a similar one that is done in Atlantic colors. I'd say somwhere in the 30 gallon range is about right. The pump should bolt right in the top. I could never figure if they were meant for a one time use or if there was some way a refilling thru the hole for the pump, 'cause mine still has the dip stick inside. As far as price, I think that's strickly a personnal call. I spent $30 on mine with a pump.

I would think it would be worth more than $35. Especially if you already have a pump that fits it... But only if you like it.

Yes, but I really do think it's worth it... For some reason when I first saw this, I thought Atlantic. Maybe it reminds me of an Atlantic aircraft can.
