This is what I could find about the Carter Oil Company.Carter Oil Company was founded in 1893.Humble's restructuring allowed both companies to sell and market gasoline nationwide under the Esso , Enco and Humble brands. The Enco brand was introduced by Humble in the summer of 1960 at stations in Ohio , but was soon blackballed after Standard Oil of Ohio ( Sohio ) protested that Enco (Humble's acronym for "ENergy COmpany") sounded and looked too much like Esso as it shared the same oval logo with blue border and red letters with the two middle letters the only difference. At that point, the stations in Ohio would be rebranded Humble (but the gasoline, motor oil, and lubricant products kept the name Enco) until the name change to Exxon in 1972. Humble Oil also had service/gas stations branded as "CARTER" in Colorado. They were changed to ENCO in the early 60'sThis can is in mint (and I mean mint) condition.It is full and the spout has not been cut.Please check my other handy oilers on ebay.
