Very RARE Antique Old SHELL Petroliana Oil Drum Super Gear Lubricant, 1940s
This is an Important and Very RARE Antique Old SHELL Petroliana Oil Drum - Super Gear Lubricant, likely dating to the 1940's - early 1950's. This product (Super Gear Lubricant) was made by the Shell Oil Company for a very limited time, and only two known pieces exist, one of them being this item. The stenciled writing on the front reads: SHELL SUPER GEAR LUBRICANT S. Unlike most Shell oil drums for sale, this was not used as a trashcan, and retains its original lid, cap, and spigot. You will not find another item like this with either of these original features. Approximately 28 inches tall x 13 1/4 inches wide. Good condition for age and use, with expected scuffing, paint loss, and light oxidation please see photos. Acquired in Los Angeles County, California. This item is for the serious Shell Oil and Petroliana collector. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
