Our Tractor Supply store quit selling their 10W non deg. oil. I got a lot better deal buying 4 ea 5 gal buckets from Sapp Bros in Lincoln.

Here are some oil can pics I copied from the Windmill Restoration Facebook page. Not my cans, but wanted a record of all cans for future reference.

Thanks to all that have posted pictures. I enjoy old oil cans as I grew up in the 60's and 70's in the oil business. I am always on the look out for oil cans at flea markets, swap meets, garage, estate sales and such. Its funny I have never ran across any windmill oil cans. The few working windmills in my area when I was a kid just used the Mobil non detergent 10W oil we had at the station.

Here are the oil cans Paul had for sale in 2018, thought I would share them to this thread for future information for all the windmill oil can collectors. I have been looking at all the flea markets and still haven't found any. :( :(

Hope Paul don't mind me sharing his pics. His web page is www.oldwindmills.com. His webpage is a great source of windmill information.
