WWII-Era Red Jerry Can – Steel, 18½" Tall, “G” Marked
WWII-era red-painted steel Jerry can, featuring the classic embossed “X” reinforcement on both sides and marked with a raised “G.” This robust design, originally developed for military fuel transport, includes the distinctive three-handle configuration and hinged locking cap.
The can exhibits a rich, aged patina with flaking paint, oxidation, and minor dents that speak to its long service life. Measuring 18½ inches tall, it makes a compelling collectible or industrial accent. Though untested, the cap mechanism is intact, and the container is empty.
An iconic utilitarian relic from the mid-20th century, suitable for military enthusiasts, prop use, or vintage décor.
