These two Wadham ten gallon oil cans were purchased just the way you see them. You can tell that the restoration is not very well done compared to the others I have show you. They still display nicely. Wadham Oil and Grease Company of Milwaukee was a chain of filling and service stations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the early 20th century. Their refinery was in Indiana. The company was headed by Harger W. Dodge who assumed leadership from his father-in-law in 1916. He saw the potential in offering a convenient way for automobile owners to fill their cars with gasoline. Dodge would build off-street filling stations with underground tanks for the gasoline, and electric pumps to dispense it. Wadham's was purchased by Vacuum Oil Company in 1930. Vacuum Oil was then acquired by Socony, which later became Mobil.

Had our town wide garage sale this weekend and saw one of these cans in nice shape and the older woman said why is everyone calling this an oil can, it was a milk can off my farm, could these cans been used for both?
I've got milk cans and I have oil cans. I suppose someone could have used it for other purposes, I sure would not want to drink milk out of a can that was used for oil. Maybe to your question. I guess anything is possible.
Nice, I have a milk can put on here too. Don't know anything about it. But it is really old.
