The big one
is just a standard ww2 oil tin as found on the back of a riveted carrier or the side of a cmp. There is a Canadian one with the broad arrow inside the "C" pressed into the top. and a slightly different one (British?) the Canadian one has "G.S.W." with the year eg. "1942" pressed in the bottom, inside a circle.
I have one with "SAE 30 OIL" painted on the side. size approx. 120x145x280mm.

Thanks Lynn, definatly not post war!
Although 30 wt. oil is the oil of choice for the Rolls Royce "B" range of motors. Rich.

Strange cap....
Hi Derk
I have never seen that kind of cap on a one gallon oil can.... it should have the usual cast/machined heavy brass cap with a little chain tied to the tab shown just below the current cap..... Last time I saw 2 of them for sale in a Burlington militaria show, they were asking $80 each.... I sneezed and they were both gone... Bob
