Vintage Motoring 'OVP' Oil Can.
An automotive brass oil can made in France. A fantastic piece of vintage motoring ephemera, the perfect gift for the motoring enthusiast. Who would have thought the mundane garage oiler of the Golden Age of automobiles would be a collector's piece. The motorist's oil can with embossed sun burst to the front with 'OVP, BTE. SGDG Paris' to the center. To the rear 'Pat. Appd. For, Made in France' with a bracket for hanging the oil can. The brass metal with a lovely patina.
The pump oil can dispenser is a great standalone piece or the start of an automobilia can collection.
