Description from the seller
This original vintage ANTAR-branded set comprises two pieces dating from the 1960s/1970s from France, telling the story of vintage automotive refueling. The first item is a 2-liter rectangular metal oil can, decorated with the famous white-and-blue checked crest tied to the Alsatian Pechelbronn region, which at the time contained engine lubricants sold at service stations; it is noted that the can is sold without the top cap. The second item is a rare red rigid-plastic pouring/measuring jug, shaped with a long ergonomic spout that was daily used by gas station attendants and mechanics in workshops to transfer and dispense oil directly into the car engines. Both pieces feature a magnificent original patina and small signs of wear that attest to their authenticity and field use, as clearly visible in the photos. For its historical significance and the rarity of finding the two pieces together, the set is ideal for automobilia and petroleum ephemera collectors, or perfect as a striking retro interior element for workshops, vintage garages, or industrial-style environments.
