DescriptionThis is a small brass-colored metal oil can. The can includes a wide base with a screwed on lid. The base is shaped like a short, wide, cylinder with indentations evenly spaced around the outside. The lid consists of a cylindrical center, which has marks of spiral grooves around the outside, that widens out at the bottom to cover the entire top of the can. Underneath are also small indents around the center where "MADE IN U.S.A." is engraved. The word "PATENTED," as well as the symbols and numbers "LC.30.19" are also engraved underneath.
