    Hello Everyone,

    I just signed up on collectors weekly last night. Here are some quick photos of my ever-expanding household oil can collection. I try to purchase the best quality cans I can, but keep the price to a minimum (under 20 bucks or so). I've gotten better at it as time has gone on. My first can was the Gulf Electric Motor Oil that I purchase at a large flea market about 3 years ago. I have purchased my cans at flea markets, and online (Ebay). I really only buy household cans with lead tops because I think they look better than the plastic topped ones (the Singer was a gift). If you have any questions about any of the cans or want to see any particular ones in better lighting by themselves let me know, I'll be more than willing to take some more photos. I also collection vintage postcards and a specific (motorsports/racing soundtrack) vinyl records.

    Thanks.

      @dirrtydavve. I see lots of cans that I would love to get my hands on, but at an average of $30-$75 (many more than that for rare ones) I can't justify it. I'm patient and wait until I can grab an interesting one I want for less. I'm kinda picky too. I only buy what I really like (and can afford).
