    Found this metal Gibraltar oil can by Hood Refining Company near where I live (about one mile from Manor, Pa. which is listed as where the Hood Refining Co. was located). Don't have any idea how old it is or what it's worth . . . but would be interested in knowing. I'll keep it since it is from an old place which I didn't even know existed near my house but is no longer there. The metal Powerlube can is another old one I found. Does anyone know the age or what it is worth ? The Wynn's can is also metal. Does anyone know the age ?

      I have a Barnsdall Lubricant Can - I have searched the internet and can not find another one like it. Not for sure what year it is but it looks really old. can you give me any ideas on how to find out how much it is worth

      around $30. I've seen a few of them. It says "be square" and has squares and lines on it right? Is the big b inside a square?
