I recently obtained a collection of oil cans which I will be listing on eBay. Some of these cans will be sold individually and others in lots. Some of these have been cleaned and others have not. Many of these are miniature tin oilers or oil cans but several are larger. I have one Ford, one Singer, several Eagle, one I think may be a Mobil and others. The smaller ones were used to oil guns, fishing reels, sewing machines and numerous other items. I can save on shipping for multiple purchase. View photos and provided description of what is included in each lot. This is Lot # 3 and it is for a miniature pump oiler. This measures 7 1/8” long, 2 1/4” high and 1 5/8” wide. This has a brass cap and a pump button on the top and a finger loop in the rear. Spout measures 3 1/2” long. Oiler shows almost no signs of dings or dents. This has a bright finish with almost no visible rust. There are signs of some red paint residue which shows it may have been painted red at some point but most is gone. Pumps appears to work well and condition is good all around. I believe this oiler may have been a Mobil Oil Company oiler that no longer has its labels. I found an oiler which has the same dimensions and features as this one in my David Moncrief Guide to Small Oilers book, page 75. With its labels this is considered extremely rare with a $300.00 plus value. Since mine has no labels I can not say for certain this is a Mobil oiler, but you experts can check it out for yourselves and bid accordingly. I can say it is a nice piece. This item sells without reserve and “as is”. I do not take offers after the auction ends on items that do not sell. If you are interested in an item, make a bid. This item ships with delivery confirmation, buyer may request insurance. *** RETURN POLICY ***On items I sell I try to provide as much descriptive and photographic information on condition, size, known damage and what it is you are buying as my space and knowledge will allow. I try to provide as accurate information as possible and will try to answer additional questions when asked, if possible. If an item is listed as untested or unknown if item works, it is usually because I have no ability or means of testing it, not that the item does not work, it means I do not know. For this reason if an item is listed as selling “as is”, there is no return of this item unless I have made a major error in its description. I have no desire to deceive my buyers and I also have no desire to be taken advantage of by a buyer. *** SHIPPING TIME ***Barring unforeseen circumstances, purchases are normally shipped within one business day from when your payment is received. When this falls on a holiday, weekend or special occasion this would be the shippers next day of operation. Please understand that I can only ship in a timely manner, I can not control the speed of the postal service or any other shipper. Shipping to the west coast, shipping during holiday periods and shipping via media mail are often slower. When your item is shipped I will provide you with a delivery confirmation or tracking number to show your item was shipped in a timely manner and so you can monitor its progress. When shipping speed is a factor you may upgrade to priority or a faster method of shipping, at your expense.*** PAYMENT INFORMATION ***Ebay is now regulating the methods of payment I may list. I will take PayPal, I do not take credit cards. For items that are pick-up only, payment can be made via other means if agreed upon prior to the pick-up. All payments are in U.S. funds. Payment for your item is due within 7 days of auctions ending. If there is a legitimate reason for not making payment within this time please contact me in advance and I will try to work with you. If you plan to be away when auction ends and you fail to notify me, please remember I lost my psychic powers and will not be aware of this fact. I realize that problems do arise, but I also realize that there are a lot of non-paying bidders that play games on e... read more
