Motor oil bottles. - 7/9/2007 3:14:15 PM    cowseatmaize Posts: 2135 Joined: 12/2/2004 From: Metro West, MA Status: offline Does anyone know when these were most common. It's a generic bottle and the Owens mark should be either 1928, 38, 48 or possibly 58. It's an 8 anyway with the I+O+diamond. I know the books say 1929-54 but I'm giving leeway. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. Post #: 1

Most of them were embossed with the Kendall Oil logo on the base. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 2

I could use a few. Mine all got broke when Ivan got my shop. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 4

All I have (1 ea), or have seen is a Kendall jar with the logo hand on it. Is that what we are talking about here?? It has no label on it Thanks,  Marvin  (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 8

RE: Motor oil bottles. - 7/11/2007 4:15:55 PM    L C   Posts: 1484 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Warren, I have a paper labeled jar somewhere probably about five inches high by around six inches in diameter. The label isn't in all that good of condition though. Is that the jar you are referring too, or is it a tall bottle of some kind ? < Message edited by L C -- 7/11/2007 4:29:41 PM > (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 9

RE: Motor oil bottles. - 7/11/2007 11:35:33 PM    capsoda Posts: 7510 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Yep Marvin, I guess it would be a jar and not a bottle. It was replaced by the oil can and later by the metal topped paper can and then by plastic.  The bottles were used in a rack and refilled at the beginning of each day. Hey LC, Thats them. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to L C) Post #: 10

It's marked duraglas so I guess 1948. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

RE: Motor oil bottles. - 7/12/2007 8:44:04 AM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Hey Cap, I remember those jars.  We called them bulk oil jars.  There was a SOC station in one of the local towns.  They would fill those jars up from the bulk tank each morning and put them in a metal rack.  Seems like they all had that long metal snout for pouring screwed on.  Maybe some one can post a pic of a jar with the pouring spout attached.  That station made a killing for many years.  cheap gas and cheap oil. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

Is this the one Fellers? Attachment (1) (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 15

RE: Motor oil bottles. - 7/12/2007 2:41:48 PM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Yep Eric. That's the spout that I remember.  They kept the rack out by the gas pump.  They advertised "virgin" oil , which was probably bulk oil without any addatives.  They really sold that stuff, especially to those mosquito sprayers that were already using oil and smoking. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Motor oil bottles. - 7/12/2007 3:12:52 PM    L C   Posts: 1484 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I also believe that being the oil companies are sticking it to us on gas prices and making huge windfall profits, and getting away with doing so, that the least they could do is to hire our Senators and other government officials that are letting them get away with it to man the gas pumps and pump our gas, and clean our windshields. At least I would know that they are good for something other than ruining this country as they have been doing for the past twenty years plus. I will even be glad to furnish one of the bottles for them to use. Attachment (1) < Message edited by L C -- 7/12/2007 3:16:23 PM > (in reply to L C) Post #: 18
