Vintage oil cans, otherwise known as petroliana, were considered trash not too long ago. But these days, they’re collector’s items and are sought all over the internet! There are so many types to be found and while they’re still a bit easy to come by, they’re not too expensive and are a fun kind of collection.
You can find them all over the place, from your local trash heap to abandoned garages. Just make sure that while you’re ‘treasure hunting’ you’ve gotten permission! Nothing ruins a good treasure hunt like a fine for trespassing. You can also bid for them over the internet but a lot of people think of that as half the fun gone.
The unusual vintage oil cans are the stuff of collector lore. Many a tale has been told of how that unique can came into their possession and sometimes it involves a wild chase with the junkyard dog or two. Cans with mascots or cans with names of companies that do not exist anymore, these are the stuff that collectors want.
Vintage oil cans that are unopened, or with mascots, unusual names, or names of defunct companies are the material of collector’s dreams. Just one could go for a very high price, if the collector would be willing to part with it, that is.
You can sell your finds on the net if you want or you can use them to add a little bit of nostalgia to your room. They can be used as decorations (think Andy Warhol for this) and maybe spark some memories for the older generation when they come to visit. After all, what’s good old America without the car and the drive down the lane?
