Champlin De Luxe Empty 1 Quart Motor Oil Can - Vintage 1940's/50's - Enid, OKThis is an empty one quart Champlin De Luxe motor oil can. It dates from somewhere in the 1940's to early 50's based on the logo and 30 cent price. This is a pretty tough to find can as Champlin was a small distributor out of Enid, OK. Later on in company history, they got wider distribution, but at this point it was a very regional brand. The can is empty and pretty clean on the outsid...e, but could use some rust removal to really get it looking it's best.The can is obviously not in great shape. There are several dents and rust and scratches. It is complete though, both top and bottom are there and the can is structurally sound. The can does retain some nice color and the logo is graphically striking. Please take a look at the pictures, I showed all sides so you can get a feel on how this might look on your shelf. I believe the angle in the first photo is the best display side. Even with the wear, this will be a great addition to your oil or petroliana collection, don't miss grabbing this today!I want buying from me to be a good experience for you. I also know that condition can be very subjective, so I encourage you to see pics for exact condition details and ask questions if you need additional information. As always, the item you see is the one you will get. Please see my feedback, I think that will show that I am an accurate and fair grader and make sure my customers are happy.
