I have this motor oil can and it came from the former Bay State Petroleum Co., Inc. in Cambridge, MA. I cannot find anything on this can and barely anything on the company. Think the can is 1950's, maybe 60's with a SAE20 and 100% mineral base. Maybe used for special type of engine/cars? On the front it says "Bay
Motor Oil".
Can anyone help me with this company and the can? Any info would be appreciated!

Here is the can in question
Fairly rare can. You are correct, 50s-60s era. Nice shape, but no graphics. Mine is in similar condition, which i bought for $75. I feel $50-75 is about right.
Super, thanks. Where did you find yours?
I bought mine on eBay. I have seen a couple others on the internet since then.
