    Thanks Tony for your reply on the cans. Dons.oil can said the Mobil oil can Gargoyle vacum oil was in the mid 20s very nice that would put with the ten gallon pumps.

    A friend of mine had a simular experience like Tony . He found 6 full quarts of Packard Special Motor Oil in all metal cans. Cans have very light surface rust no dents or scratches. Condition of cans rate from very good to fair. We are interested in finding out what there worth . Selling them is also a option. If anyone is interested in or has information about these cans please email me at gobucks1960@yahoo.com . I will send you pictures of the cans . Thank you TIM
