Mick, I know the cans. Starting in the 30's, my folks had a county grocery store with gas pumps. Bulk oil was the thing. I have the old copper plated gallon can that was used for oil changes. I wish I had the bulk oil container with the crank that measured out exactly one quart.
I know what you mean by remembrances. When I'm in WA, I throw out the crab pot with a certain alignment of the doors with the shore because an Uncle said the crab would find their way into the pot easier! Hey, it works!
