I found this 90 year oil bottle several years ago out picking. On the one side of the bottle it is embossed
Handy Oiler
Pat'd Nov.28,1922
Handy Oiler Co. Danville, Indiana
and on the other side is One Quart Liquid. There are no chips in the bottle and the spout seems to be original. I think it's great that it is 90 years old and still in excellent shape for being used several years at the filling station.
