Hi guys!
Someone I met at a flea market sent me here, I have this Ford oil can with the mounting bracket still on it. I would like to sell it however I need to know what I have before I do as prices on eBay are all over the place. ($30-$200)
There is not an "E" on the reverse, I'm hoping that the bracket helps identify/increase the value.;)
I do know enough to not clean it.
Any though on a value?
I lost my job and this is the only income I have for now.

I'm a Ford guy too BTW, my first car was a 1966 Mustang and I still have her.
Thanks a lot! I've attached photos.
I did ask on the Model T forum and some very kind guys helped me out, however I need to cover all the bases... because I'm BROKE! (ha-ha)
Thanks!

Thanks Don, I guess I'll just throw this on eBay late tomorrow without high expectations :D.
Don't worry, the Mustang is never for sale! ;)
 
I believe this one is up to $280 on eBay. I don't get what makes some items sell for so much. Am I missing something on this one?
 
I can't help but notice the can has most of it's copper plate intact and I like the style of bracket. I have the same can with most of the copper worn away and would die for that bracket!;)
I expect you'll get closer to the high end of your estimate, especially having resisted the urge to clean it up.
...and it's them wire-wheel-warriors that really make my skin creep:eek:
