NOS Vintage Oil Can with Flexible Spout and Trigger Dispenser Delphos RE17202 1/2 Gallon

NOS Vintage Oil Can with Flexible Spout and Trigger Dispenser. No signs of use, this came from a U.S. Navy arsenal that had damp storage. This piece was made by the New Delphos Mfg. Co. in Delphos, Ohio. Opened in 1898, and in production until 1990. Delphos RE17202, 1/2 Gallon capacity. 15-1/4″ flexible metal spout. Trigger operates a rocker arm style drain in the bottom of the can. This is just a really cool piece of pre-plastic engineering. Very light oxidation is present, cosmetic only. Spot welds have let go at bottom of handle. I would be inclined to J-B Weld it. Photos don’t do it justice. Antique wall art, would be great for a BBQ shack or rustic setting. G877851a PR6
