Old oil bottles, Quart/Litre or 1/2 quart/litre. Not fussed on the condition as long as they are complete, prefer with tops but not essential.
Pay cash or I might have some Petrolania that I can swap.

That's why I am asking here, I have a couple and have just managed to get hold of an old wire rack. Country second-hand and antique stores are a good place to look. The prices are more reasonable and it's a good excuse for a mini road trip.

Hey Stinky
You are right about the country stores however most of the ones down south here in WA are in the touristy area and so the prices are jacked I think I might have to go into some of the inland wheat belt towns and see what I can find.

I picked up an old wire stand as well from people I know that run a store in Perth but even though they gave me a discount it still cost me $150.

Regards
Neil

I just sold two at the last Bendigo Swap. 1 Quart and 1 Pint embossed with Castrol logo, tin tops $220.  Maybe too cheap, I could have sold them ten times over at that price!!!

I know where some are Stinky. A fair few things pop up out Bush here. Any preference? Lots of tins too. I'm looking for Neptune but they seem quite rare. I'll post pics. My sister lives in Gawler. Are you in a hurry?

No hurry, thanks.
It seems to be easy to get the tops, the glass bottoms are the problem.
I have a glut of tins at the moment but always interested if they are "different".
Cheers
