Vintage metal petroleum can – green lacquered, industrial use, ca. 1940–1960

Rectangular metal kerosene can with a spout and screw cap, made of green painted steel. This type of can was used for storing and dispensing kerosene or similar fuels in domestic and agricultural settings.

The jug is utilitarian in nature and industrially made, with a simple construction and functional design. The exterior shows clear signs of wear, including paint wear and localized rust, consistent with long-term practical use. These signs contribute to the object's character and authenticity.

Not a decorative tin in the classic sense, but an honest, utilitarian object from the mid-20th century. Suitable as an industrial decor item, studio prop, or collector's item within utilitarian and historical curiosities.
