Vintage Delvac oil bottle

[Ponch]

Hey all,

I acquired something “oil worthy” for a photo today, taken from my late grandfather’s garage who was a farmer in Michigan. He had used this bottle for mixing 2 cycle gas/oil. I tried my best to find a year range for this Ancient class of diesel oil and I come up with 1980-1988 era. Just thought members on here who collect old vintage oil cans or bottles would appreciate this!
Have a great day!

That's some plastic, standing up to gas for forty years.

FIL uses old windshield washer jugs, you can see how full they are at a glance.

I’m 45 and had wondered if this bottle was older than me before I tried to search for the year range with that oil class

Cool, another member posted one of these from his late fathers place. Is the bottom of the jug pointing towards your feet?

Thanks, It sort of looked like it could go either way but now I know.

I would guess it's older than you.

Possibly?
