Great Garbage Can

Another Garbage find !!! My associate at the shop found a 100+ year old 5-Gallon Light House Establishment Oil Can in the garbage. Clearly marked on the bottom of this brass can, are the words "U.S. Light House Establishment, US Depot Staten Island, NY" A maritime collectible, the item was purchased on E-bay by one of the largest collectors of Lighthouse and Coast Guard Memorabilia in the nation for $660. He has a terrific web site http://www.lighthouseantiques.net/antiques/antiques.html. The can was used to carry oil from the storage shed to the lighthouse to fill smaller oil cans and lanterns. Another great garbage find. lhcan
