RARE! Antique Distressed Half-Gallon Dover Oil Can | Vintage Metal 1/2 Gallon Pouring Oil Can | 1940s Rustic Oil Can | Bixley Shop

This distressed Dover half-gallon oil can is likely from the 1930s or '40s. It's done a lot of work in its day, but we found something charming in all the dents and paint loss. A rustic tribute to industrial hard work, display it on its own or perhaps use it as a flower vase.
