Oil Cans and Bottles

This is the earliest Singer bottle I have seen.
It is marked 'I.M. Singer & Co. New York'.
(The lettering on the bottle was enhanced to show up better for the photo)

This fantastic large early bottle says "The Best Oil for Sewing Machines and Cycles".
Then in small print at the bottom it says "we do not sell cycles".

An unopened Singer oil bottle, an original box, two corked and two screwtop 3 oz. Singer oil bottles with four different labels. All have the Singer logo embossed on the back.

A typical 3 ounce Singer oil bottle and the rare 2 ounce and 1 ounce sizes.

A selection of dome shaped cans with 'Singer' embossed.

A couple of unusual Singer oilcans
The one on the right is in French.

Italian Singer Olio!

A 5 gallon oil can. Some ingenious person braised a spigot to the back to make it easier to reuse.

This probably holds about a pint of oil. It is from 1960.

A couple of quart sized Singer oilcans and one that holds a gallon of oil.

A group of 1-1/2 ounce oil cans. Do you have a Featherweight that you want to put the correct oil can with? The cans marked 'Household Oil' were used until 1947 or 1948. The one with the offset spout is British.

A small plastic Singer oil bottle. It really is this crooked.

An assortment of 3 oz. oil cans. Each is slightly different. The ones with the offset spouts are British.

Two Pfaff oil cans. The dome shaped one has an embossed sewing machine on the other side.
