USMC Gas Can Value
I was wondering what a 1943 dated USMC gas (gerry) can is worth? It is in decent shape but I have not looked inside to see the condition. Thanks for any help. Mark.
Never enough time to do it right but always enough time to do it over.

Made by Conco,I suppose.
If you haven't looked inside, you should.
This side of the pond, they go for over 50 bucks, usually.

On a WWII can USMC is the companys name and not US Marine Corp. It is just a regular jerry can

Re: USMC Gas Can Value
Not exactly.....in WWII the United States Metal Can (USMC) company did not suppy cans to the gov't. CONCO made cans with U.S.M.C. on them in WWII for the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
Post war, the Unites State Metal Can company made cans for the civilian market with "USMC" on them...
SO....it the can has U.S.M.C. on the side and CONCO on the bottom it is a Marine Corps can...

Re: USMC Gas Can Value
Chuck has it right. 
Here are some of my CONCO USMC cans.
As with anything you can pick one up for $40-50, get screwed and pay more or a good deal passed on from a friend for $5. Thanks DADA!
