Was it @Steamandoil (Tim) that had one?
Not sure about Tim, but 2 of my friends from Cabin fever both bought one...I'll call one of them tomorrow.
here ya' go...


it appears to me they used the same brand/Co. but no Jensen MFG. engraving on the bottom as before.
Very interesting, Bruce! It’s good that the early ones can be distinguished from the later ones. A friend of mine collects oil cans and he told me that a pump oiler like that with the three ribs is pretty scarce in any form.

If anyone has an extra one of the recent issue oilers that they would part with, I’d sure be interested!😁
I tried to look up champion mfg. And came up empty , I was told that a small order of about 20 oil cans were made in the last order a few yrs back and that they were gone in just a few days.
How did you find (or even know about) the one you have Mike ?

The one I have I found on eBay within the last year. I had to pay a pretty good price for it, and as far as I could tell, I was just competing with other oil can collectors. I don’t remember how I first heard about Jensen’s oil can venture, but I had been looking for one ever since.
