Wanted: Early Ford oil cans
Looking to enhance my own collection or possibly use for trade at the shows I attend. I'm not looking for ebay pricing as the sellers have too many fees to pay to offset the price. I'm looking to pay via Paypal where the fees are minimal. Cans like these below if anyone has 'extras' or wants some quick $$$. I prefer the smaller 4 oz size cans as the full quart cans shipping gets crazy expensive.
Growing up in an all Ford family and car guys, I can't even count how many of those variants we threw away back in the day.
Just seeing the logo with what I always assumed was a GT40 at Le Mans brings memories rushing back. So sad we threw all that stuff away after using so much of it.
Did you watch Barrett Jackson last week? They sold a Ford Service visible gas pump from the 20s-30s which was probably used at a dealership I assume, for $130,000
I remember using and tossing those back in the '68 Falcon and '69 Mustang days (probably 10w30 though). I could actually reach and remove the oil filter from above.
One I remember specifically was a can of wheel bearing grease that stayed in dad's garage for many years, didn't need it often. Don't recall seeing another one since.

My Ford Speedo Grease has Been With Me Since the 80's & Still Going Strong! My 1 Gallon Size of Ford Bug & Tar Remover Still Hanging in Since the 90's! Can't get the Gallons Anymore! I need to dig around for Any Vintage Ford Chemicals I Have Stored! I got an Ancient Can of Wheel Bearing Grease as Well But Not Ford!

My elderly neighbor who passed away recently used to work at a Mobil station on Long Island back in the 60's He said the stuff he threw away is now worth thousands of dollars, especially the real signs of the day. Pump plates and oil cans with the Pegasus, that are so treasured, were all tossed at times. Who knew??

Still looking but I imagine if anyone had something, it would be better to sell yourself on ebay.
I just bought some old Mopar and GM cans this month. Pretty cool.... and pricey!
