British 1945 BMB Can with Shell markings

Post by Silly's MB » Mon Jun 11, 2018 12:50 am

Hi Guys,
Since I promised to myself not to pick up any more cans I seem to of found more good ones than ever :roll:

I couldn't let this be left behind at its very low price.

Probable Postwar black overspray with shell markings and its original Octane tag.

Went from AV Gas to Lubricating Oil. That's quite a change. Neat can to find the Shell stenciling and the original octane tag. I wouldn't have been able to pass it up either. I bet the oil kept the inside in good condition.

At least you can stack jerrycans. Try to (practically) do that with jeeps... :lol:
