This is a rare One Quart metal (tin) can measuring about 6⅞” tall (7¼” to top of cap) x 4½” wide x 2¼” deep. The tin has nice bright color lithography in burgundy red and white with classic advertising graphics and directions for use printed on its back. The can was made by the
National Can Corp
. As shown in the photos, the tin is in very good condition for its age with some surface wear and light soiling. There are some light scuffs or scratches, small marks, small paint stains, and very few light dents or dings typical for a container this old. The top of the can is in nice shape with some surface soiling and oxidation, and the bottom is still mostly nice and shiny. The can has its original metal screw cap in place as shown. The can is empty but may have a little residual liquid inside. This rare vintage “Douglas” Paint Thinner advertising tin can would make a great addition to your collection!
