A tractor size oil can

[john k]

One of the few things I collect, are oil cans.   Have a few tiny ones, shirt pocket size, and some pretty old and interesting oilers.    Just found this N.O.S. pump oiler,  looks like it could hold near 2 quarts!   Or 2 Litres?  Eagle brand, American made.

that's the largest of the squirt types I've seen. My Dad has about 200 different old oil cans, there are some pretty neat ones out there.

A few weeks back at an auction there was one bigger than this and was every bit of 2 1/2' tall. The squirter part was most of the height of coarse and it went straight up, no angle to it.
Didn't stick around to see what it went for, auction was slow as can be.

Have you seen any of the railroad types -- I seem to recall seeing a photo somewhere of an engineer with a pump oiler that looked like it had a half-gallon reservoir and a spout about 18" long.  Imagine trying to keep one of those massive steam engines rolling with all those valves & linkages to oil.

most of the railroad ones my Dad has, and that I've seen elsewhere are around a quart to a quart and a half, the long spout on them makes them look much bigger though.
