Living on the site of an old Standard Oil Distrubutorship, we find a few things buried in the ground every now and then.

Today I found a old brass oval tag, about 3-1/2 x 2-1/4 that says: MIQUON MOTOR OIL SAE 20.

Any idea just how old this is and just who was MIQUON OIL COMPANY if at all a company?

By the way...It is your last chance to view on Google Earth the 3 original 17,000 gallon tanks that were part of this distrubutorship as they are coming down this coming Monday or Tusesday, August 26 or 27, 2013. They are at 9020 Lyons Ferry Road in Walla Walla County, Washington State.

Thanks.

Pluck

I believe it was from the late 30s into the 40s...

Much earlier than I thought... Strange, I don't remember seeing cans for this product before...

Thanks Bob for sharing that photo and the rest for the history.
