I recently picked up this 1920s Sinclair Rocker Oil Can. They are hard to find, and even more hard to find in good condition. This can has one side in OK shape, and the other is fairly rough. I tried for a week to negotiate a good price and ended up paying more than I wanted to; but it is rare and I decided I wanted it regardless.
