Jensen oil can , W/Brass tag made in "USA"
« on: May 28, 2021, 07:44:43 pm »
Just playing around & thought I'd make my own personal Jensen "Oil" pump can with custom brass tag , completely USA made. not for sale.



The tag is based off of the Jensen #100 workshop tag ,enlarged 25% with obviously black print on a brass plate with "oil" being placed in the style box.



Yah...a video ....for an oil can...LOL

Wow!...I reckon "if" you sent your video off to Jensen, they might instantly commission say 25 units?...numbered of course Each fetching near on $200, with unit #01 fetching a fair bit more! ;D

Well Done!

Thanks Gil, I wanted to do the much smaller #600 6oz. (With case hardened trigger) but they must be ordered from Dutton-Lainson  as I couldn't find them locally. Jensen did do a batch some time back , but I believe they used some cheap static cling type wrap that wasn't very durable as I've been told. My brass tags are held on by plaque makers dbl  sided tape (aggressive as hell) I toyed with the idea of (2) Jensen nickel rivets , but wasn't really wanting 2 penetrations in the canister body. We'll see how durable the tape is.😉

I had no idea that Jensen ever made an oil can.

I’m not sure exactly when they made these original oil cans, but I knew they still had parts on hand to produce more and I tried to buy one when I visited the factory in 2017, but they wouldn’t sell anything then. When the cans were offered in the last couple years, they sold out before I could order one. I’d really like to know if those recent offerings had the name stamped on the bottom.
