Default Part hunting on Vancouver island and the mainland

Hi all on the West Coast .

Are there interesting salvage yards, dumps, flee markets , old barns , closed down forestry operations , abandoned military installations where I could find-buy -trade CMP , Sherman and Carrier parts while I am here ?

Thank-you very much for the heads up. You may PM or email me if you want your favourite fishing spot remain secret but don't mind my picking off a few good parts or accessories to bring back home East on an upcoming service flight.

Default also found today

Well , I know what this is and it is a very early ( 1940 ) 1 gal Canadian oil can by General Steel Wares GSW .

Can is in rough shape. Rust. Nice untouched and unpolished brass screw on cap. Worth the buy if only for the cap itself !
