welcome to cw!! I have never seen this before!!
There was an old gas engine called a "Gem". This may be related to that as some of the old equipment came with tools and such.
Howard rotovator built a serious roto tiller called the "GEM", search YouTube for videos on it. I have a 1952 model "gem" in my collection
coolllllllllllll
I have some steel Gem oil cans,my guess is,it's just the brand name.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to add ,that is a great oil can you have there!
Payne Diehl and co. is the maker of this oiler and metal can oilers. It has a patent date of around 1880.
Used for gemologists while cutting stones.

This is just an example. digger o'dell has a great site for glass bottles too.
Hey buddy that looks to be a GEM oiler I have seen sewing handy oiler cans with the name GEM on them so I am going to say that is a war time (metal ration) sewing machine oiler
