Before there was Brad Penn lubricants, there was Kendall Oil GT-1 as part of a whole raft of different Kendall Oil products. My Dad bought Kendall oils for his fleet of school buses and since we bought a lot of it, it arrived in 5 gallon metal cans (which were much easier to handle than 55 gallon drums). We would trade in the cans full of drain oil when new oil arrived and the drain oil was used elsewhere for drain oil heaters in garages (popular back then). The cans looked like this:
After my parents passed and I was cleaning out the shop to get the place ready to sell, I came across three of those old oil canisters in perfect shape and really considered keeping one, but it was big and I had no place to display it. Instead, I found a couple of old Kendall quart glass bottles with the pour spout on them, both mint CX. You can see one on top of the cabinets and to the right of the Speedster print and Carlisle print from Rich Drewek. Much easier to display!
