a Vintage metal fuel or oil canister, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century (circa 1920s–1950s).
The canister features a classic industrial design with a cylindrical body, a sturdy top handle, and a brass screw-cap. These were commonly used for storing petrol (gasoline), kerosene, or motor oil in garages, on farms, or as emergency fuel reserves for early motor vehicles.
Item Details & Identification
-
Material: The main body appears to be galvanized steel or tin-plated iron, which has developed a significant aged patina.
-
Hardware: The cap is made of brass, a common feature of high-quality vintage canisters because brass is non-sparking—a crucial safety feature for fuel storage.
-
Bottom Markings: SAR
-
Capacity: Based on the proportions, this likely holds roughly 5 liters (approx. 1 Imperial Gallon).
Estimated Value: R450 - R1,200
