Title: vintage oil can and gas can value?
Post by: JoshandLila on November 26, 2011, 03:19:34 PM
Hi folks!! found these while we were out and about and was wondering how old they are and what a realistic asking price would be? The first is (I believe) an old 1 gallon gas can Lila got from the thrift store for $2 ( lucky girl ). No markings but it looks like they original paint. The second is an old oil can with the glass insert I found at the antique store. Says "Dandy" on the side. Its in rough shape and I was wondering if I should do some restoration to it or leave it as is. I saw a couple cleaned up on ebay and they were asking $125-$150 but I was wondering if $70 would be more realistic asking price in its current condition? Yes the cap is missing and I polished off a bottle of wine and put a cork in it lol. Thanks for lookin!  ;D ;D
