Jerry Can Info, W.T.K.

Post by D.R.H. » Sat Apr 21, 2018 12:51 pm

I like a Jerry can that doesn't leak as does most everyone else, I should think. I am not well versed in this field of expertise. How common are the Wheeling Mfgr'd. Jerry cans. I picked one up that is in really good condition, it is dated 1942 and now I would like to find 5 more just like it for my K-52 Trailer.

I believe Wheeling is a relatively common maker to come across, so you should be able to complete your set.

Thanks Dave, a new friend saw my post and contacted me. He asked when I would be in his area again. So I think I may have a plethora of Wheeling Jerry Cans soon.

I will send you a PM, but should be able to find a few more over here on the other side of the mountains.
