This Sinclair Opaline motor oil one gallon can is in pretty good shape. It still has it's spout to pour the oil. Both sides are about the same shape. Found this last fall at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival in the swap meet area.

Thank you DMK678.
This is a 1920's can. I know the 1/2 gallons Sinclair Opaline, just like yours, sell for around 375-475.00. I think yours would be in the same value range. Great Can!
Thanks for that information. Well I guess it's money in the bank!
