Anybody know what this is? A local collector gave it to me. it is open at the top, has two sight glasses that may have had gal. measurements at one time, it has 3 sockets for possible legs and 2 handles, it has a brass valve at the bottom and as you can see says "Superior" and 10 gals. I know Superior Co. made Cans and there also was a Superior Oil Co. Have you ever seen one of these?
