Igol - Oil can - Metal - Oilblock

Amazing! The item up for auction is a rare and authentic vintage advertising tin from the 1950s-1960s, dedicated to hydraulic lubricant oil. Specifically, the can is a vintage IGOL OILBLOCK LHM Citroën can, original from IGOL FRANCE S.A. "OILBLOCK" Mineral Hydraulic Liquid. The tin is altogether made of lithographed metal with an original vintage screw cap and welded handle. The line "Liquide Hydraulique Minéral" dedicated to hydraulic oil for a very specific system, thus only for Citroën hydraulic systems with the central pump and braking circuits, much less common than motor oil cans, is today highly appreciated and sought after by Automobilia and Petroliana collectors. The can represents an interesting example of European "petroliana", characterized by lively graphics and bears the classic iconic rooster logo. The tin presents in good general aesthetic condition, in authentic, uncleaned and unrestored state, with its original workshop patina and signs of wear, widespread oxidation and wear to the lithographed surface, which attest to its authenticity and use, which do not undermine the beauty of the object but rather attest to its age and give it vintage charm. The can comes from a long-gone old workshop. Its dimensions are 25x19x11 cm, with an approximate weight of 0.5 kg. The photos are an integral part of the description. Unique and exclusive item destined for pure collection of automotive memorabilia and petroliana enthusiasts, or for decoration of a garage, workshop, or themed spaces. Item seen and liked from photographic documentation and in the current state, always in used condition as evidenced by photographic documentation."
