20L fuel can 1945 and original paint.

Guys,

Again not unusual in itself, just the date is rather hard to find, this is my first and it lay in the scrap for a few days before I spotted it.  the colour appears a rather weak 'ordinance tan'!

Very nice Jock

Type three,,,, the paint is original imo. I had a few of these when I was a kid including one for water, does it have markings on the front handles and a coated interior?. Actually these cans have an interesting story classed as top secret during pre war annexations.

Eric,

It is marked in the centre and I didn't open it, it has been put away now I will have a look tonight after work.
