Funny gas can
I found a funny gas can a few years ago. It's made by NESCO in 1941. What's funny about it, is that it was put together upside down. All of the markings on the sides are upside down. Some one in the factory must have been in a hurry to go to lunch.

different
41 Gas cans are not common at all,but this is for sure very unusual. I know that coin or stamp collectors go nuts for this kind of things,and I would not be surprised that the same applies to can collectors.A unique find,Robin!As for the drum or barrel shaped container,according to my friend Silvano,the jerrycan guru here,it is meant for oil,and there where more than one manufacturer,Conco being one of them.On the bottom there usually was the same ICC-5L 20-5... stamping as on gas jerrycans .Check yours.
