An early 20th‑century brass oil can.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful antique oil can made of brass, dating from the early 20th century. This functional and decorative item was originally used for refilling oil or petroleum, for example for lamps or machines.

The jug has a characteristic cylindrical shape with horizontal decorative lines, a fixed top handle, a curved pouring spout, and an elegantly shaped handle at the back. The hinged lid closes neatly and is equipped with a practical thumb grip. The warm brass patina gives the piece an authentic and lived-in appearance.

The metal was tested with a magnet and does not react, which confirms that it is brass.

Condition: in good antique condition with normal signs of wear and light discoloration appropriate for the age. No major damage, structurally solid.

An atmospheric collectible and decorative piece for enthusiasts of industrial antiques, rustic interiors, or old workshop objects.
