probably not, the rubber is usually rotted away.

I have one just like that also with a about 5 or so intact oil cans. I think I have 2 of those metal oil filter removers and 2 old hand held grease pumps.

Oil comes in plastic containers now, does anybody know when the last vestiges of oil in cans was?

The oil was also $10.00 a case back then.

And, don't forget, a case of oil was 24 quarts. None of this 12 quart half-case stuff!

And some oil is now 6 quarts to the case.

I am looking for one of those but with the glass cylinder.

Does anyone know when the first metal oil cans came out to use the push dispenser spout that Mitch shows?

Country folks used RAIN water in their batteries, radiators & to fill the washpot for laundry. Many folks had rain water collection tanks & roof gutters to direct the water into them. I used to hide behind the tank, cuz my Momma wuz too Fat to get in there!

Thanks a lot, Mitch. Now I have to go rummage around in my garage trying to see if I still have mine, which I haven't seen (or used) in over 20 years!

I didn't think one picture would bring so much interest,, we amuse easily especially on old items..

Ray when you find your spout please post a pic of it they are not all created equal..
Mine was made in Japan

Here are my contributions to this post. These items have been there since the last time I used them which was ????????. Have also a "junior" model for the small amount of ??? Have some "modern" type to use on plastic bottles. (Which are rather old also)

No Japan on any items. Maybe they are not "that" old.

I had one with a spring on it, you pushed it in & turned it, to lock it to the can.
