      The flags are almost square, which would be correct, so must be early.
      Oh, & welcome to CW.

      Thanks for the welcome, any idea how rare this is and how much it is worth.

      Hey mon, I'm orig. from AL but left the States in disgust after Nam. I just noticed that the flags were almost square instead of rectangular & tossed in a comment. Based just on that observation, I'm thinking real early 1900's. I haven't been gone that long! Have you researched Rheem? Bonne chance.

      Rheem I believe Is the manufacturer of the can, thanks for the help.
