Default Some recent POW finds.....and one indecent.....

Flea market has started.......

Immaculate Petrol can at Lachute......asking $225..... \
because it was from WW I.....yet clearly dated GSW 1942........

....but my luck changed....found one in very good shape in Sterling for $15 and one in Linsday today for $35 also in very good shape........

Also found a small very unusual Paraffin oil can from Esso......

....so as I walked around some one pointed out that it was leaking oil from the spout........ soaked my jeans from mid thigh down to my hiking boots in motor oil....... at least I know the previous owner cared that it wouldnot rust.

Need to take some photos and do some research.....about half a galllon I believe used to refill a paraffin stove or some old lamp.

Will see what AI says about it....


Esso.......
