Reproduction Duplex oil cans
All;
While out at Tahoe/Sierra Boat Co. I saw these in their store.
Pretty cool reproduction Duplex oil cans. The can is not a screen print but rather a sticker but I give an A for effort.
Contact Sierra if you are interested in putting the finishing touch in your bilge.

Duplex Oil cans
Contact Jim Hastings. The cans are not your standard one gallon size. Jim had all the dimensions and labeling and was going to reproduce them but nobody seemed to be in need of the 1000 that were required for a minimum order. I loaned an original to Terry Fiest for Single Malt. It may still be in the boat.
Not sure why but I got all this on a link from the Lyman Boat Club

Brian let me know that these cans came from Don Hardy at McCall Boatworks
http://mccallboatworks.com/index.html
I called him and he said he was working on the Texaco can next.
If you want one you can connect with them

From what I have been told it is a post-war can.
Early pre-war cans looked like this.
And just before the war they looked like this
Could be wrong but that's my .02

Don,
As for as I can tell the can size was the same in the 1940s both before the war and after. 1940s cans were 4 1/8"X6 5/8"X 9 1/2" tall. 1930s cans were 3 3/4"X 6" X 10 7/8" tall.
