I think I know the large stamping but not the smaller ones to the right.

It’s a Radial Steel can that was never put together until it was by MCC in September of 1952.

Midwest Can Company. It was started by a WWII veteran in 1945 and they still make containers today. They’re owned by Argand Partners.

Just saw a review tonight on the made in USA MCC jerry can. Very well made and good price. I thought metal cans were gone in US when Blitz went out of business.

Actually, so did I, and USMC (Blitz) was here in Oklahoma.
