1- VINTAGE ORIGINAL TEXACO PORT ARTHUR TEXAS OIL CAN IN VERY NICE CONDITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS FROM THE 1930S? IT DOES HAVE SOME SCRATCHES SCRAPES FADING DINGS DENTS PAINT LOSS RUST STAINING ETC. AT SOME POINT IT WAS HITON THE TOP LEFT SIDE. IT HAS A CREASE AND PAINT LOSS. CONSIDERING MOST OF THESE ARE IN NOT THE BEST CONDITION THIS ISN’T BAD IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THE DENT. OTHERWISE IT HAS EXCELLENT COLORS AND GRAPHICS. THEY WEREN’T NECESSARILY REAL GLOSSY BUT HAS A GOOD SHINE. LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
