Perhaps a bit of a collector or display item now? I was just sitting here wondering when the last of the metal cans where still common.

Is that a metal can or a paperboard tube with metal ends? The spiral impression on the label leads me to believe it is paperboard

looks like the cans our shop used in the mid 80's only it was quaker state.
our shop had a large cabinet with hooks to drain the dregs into a bottle for use.

in ME and african countries you can still buy 1 litre oil in metal cans and their sharp metal spouts too.
I have also seen a 4L oil packed by Idemitsu Japan in a square 4 litre container with no opening, You had to hammer a metal spout in it - and it was in the late 90s

I went through about 40 cases a week at the old shop... every wednesday we'd stop at the supply house and load up the van with cases of the stuff... never thought about holding onto a can...
