Oil cans
Who's oilers were these? It seems that I remember that the shape was for Mausers, but the script is puzzling me.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Oil cans
I wonder if anybody is collecting oil cans? People seem to collect everything these days! Then when they croak they have a big yard sale and us Vultures descend and buy bargains we haven't seen in years!

Re: Oil cans
People collect anything. A couple of years ago, in an "antique" store, I saw a condom collection for sale......(NIB) I just wondered who you would show it to.
I have a small collection of the oil cans. I just think that they are nifty...

I collected until I had all known (to me) versions of the Romanian made. Then I stopped. Since then, I have sold my only Romanian MN, but I kept the oil cans.
