    Gotta wonder (in retrospect, at this moment anyway) what prompted me to stick this one up on the kitchen shelf with the other advertising cans as "household oil" isn't nearly a typical kitchen thing, other than maybe being something to be found lurking in the cabinet under the sink. (vs. somewhere in the garage/basement, or wherever things like oilcans more usually end up being stored?)

    Oh well, nevermind all that, here it is anyway. Roughly 5-1/2" tall including its plastic spout with screw on cap, it is otherwise about 1" x 2" in size. The 19c 'price stamp' on its front (in purple ink) probably suggests a good clue to its age, though once more, I don't really know when that might have been. (1960's?) If anybody DOES know anything to further date/ID it PLEASE leave a comment!! :-) :-) :-)
