I have tried and tried to resize my pictures of a Penncote 2 gallon oil can I found in Wisconsin in a old dump site, I know you cannot tell me much without pictures, I have looked at other can on ebay and this one is 7 out of 10 scale. Have I found a gem, I have tried to google and found nothing and google Harrison oil co. Milwaukee Wi and same results. Bear with me I believe the pictures were added

Pictures are there
Welcome to Oldgas! Don't know much about your can but a wash and wax may bring it to a 7. Neat that it was cushioned with all them peanuts.

It was in my car trunk where wild peanuts grow

If you have enough packing peanuts in your car, it will be like having an extra airbag in a crash. wink

Nice can.
There is a quart on ebay. Seller says every time they searched harley davidson came up. They may have processed oil for them but it would not of been labeled penncoat. My search didn't have the same result. Think they may be hoping for a big sale.

You might want to PM.. TwogallonLuke.. on this site..Bet he would know.

Thanks for your kind response, found metal detecting do I leave like this or clean,
Thanks Steven
P.S. the stamps says 1937
dish liquid and water then wax with non grit car polish. Will only enhance the look and value.
