Any of you into vintage oil cans?

I have 2 cases of Valvoline Racing Oil and a few other bits.


What should I do with them?

Monograde mineral-based engine oil will be rancid after the time it must have been in the tins and everyone uses semi or fully synthetic oil these days, multigrades only, so unless someone wants that stuff for kitting up a film set where they need a period garage scene, best thing to do is take it to the local recycling plant where - if they echo the function of ours - they'll promise to dispose of it in best tree hugging fashion and as soon as you leave, pour it into their office stove to keep them warm.

That's funny too

The cans sell for atleast $10 a piece on epay, no way will they go to the recycling plant! Hahaha. No one would buy them to use, just to display.

The only thing I would do is empty them into a large tub, and use the oil for hardening blades, a knifemaking process. Not worth the shipping costs for that.

Wow! Shooting fish in a barrel! I knew that eBay attracted some "special" people but after a brief search to satisfy myself that I wasn't being played; it seems that the world truly is a mad place.
