The tin has bright yellow and black litho advertising graphics and an original price of only 50¢. The tin is marked “Sid Harvey’s Improved Motor Oil” and “Best Oil for Oil Burner and Other Electric Motors” on the front. The tin can measures about 3⅞” tall x 2⅛” wide x 1⅛” deep (overall 5�...�� to top of spout). As shown in the photos, this vintage oil can is in very good condition for its age, with nice bright colors and sharp details. It does have some normal surface wear, including a few light scuffs or scratches, small marks, and light dents or dings that you would expect for such an old tin container. The top and bottom are still shiny with a little surface oxidation. The can has its white spout and red cap in place. The container is mostly empty with a little residual oil inside.
