    Hi,
    Does anyone have info on the age or value of this can I own? I can't find any similar items online. I found this description: "F.W.White and H.P.Bagley established White & Bagley Company in 1888 located in Worcester Massachusetts. They wanted to develop a practical motor oil of uniform quality with a long service life and good protective properties. In 1905 they developed Oilzum, one of the first brand name motor oils! Oilzum was carefully produced to a high standard of quality to meet the needs of early automobiles. Oilzum was positioned as "The Choice of Champions", and was used by professional drivers across the country winning several Indianapolis 500 races. Oilzum was used to set early land speed records. In 1970, Oilzum was purchased by the Dryden Oil Company. Soon after Dryden was bought out by Castrol. In 2007 the BP Worcester facility and Oilzum was purchased by Dennison Lubricants. Over the past decade, Oilzum has extended their product line to cover engine oils, transmission fluids, gear oils, tractor fluids, hydraulic oils, diesel exhaust fluid, and solvents. " But that doesn't answer my question!

    Any thoughts?
