AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Amazing! The lot offered at auction consists of two rare oil and fat tins from the Shell brand. Specifically, an empty vintage 'Rotella Oil' can and an empty vintage 'Retinax A' jar, both complete with their original caps, dating from between 1950 and 1960. Both cans feature Shell’s classic yellow and red shell logo. The tins are in generally good aesthetic condition, authentic state, not cleaned or restored, with their original patina and signs of wear that do not diminish their beauty but rather attest to their age and give them vintage charm. The tins come from an old, closed-down workshop. Their dimensions are 25x17x13 cm with a weight of about 703 g, and 12x11x11 cm with a weight of about 193 g. Photos are an integral part of the description. Unique and exclusive items intended for pure collection of automotive objects and memorabilia and for enthusiasts of automobilia, or for garage, workshop, and themed environment decoration. Items seen and liked, documented by photographs, and in their current state always in used condition, also documented by photographs.
