Was out picking yesterday in northern Indiana and came across this very special Polarine oil can. On the spout it shows Pat. Sept. 13, 1898 and on the front of can it shows Copyright 1913 by The Standard Oil Company of Indiana. This is a very rare can and in good shape. Note the picture of the car on the front of the can. I was just lucky to be at the right spot at the right time. Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
