authentic vintage Ampol 1-Gallon motor oil tin, a classic piece of mid-century Australian petroliana and garagenalia. This container features the iconic, vibrant red and blue racing stripe design centered around the classic rectangular Ampol font block with the historic slogan,
"Ampol – the Australian Company."
This is an exceptional survivor piece that has spent decades stored away safely in a local garage, making it a perfect addition to a workshop display, man cave, or a serious petroliana collection.

Circa mid-to-late 1960s (Pre-metric 1-Gallon fluid measurement).

Under the cap explicitly carries a distinct, honest vintage motor oil scent (confirming its original automotive use).

Outstanding presentation. The lithograph paint and white background panels remain remarkably bright, clean, and vibrant with minimal UV fading or sun-bleaching.

Excellent structural integrity. The side seams are perfectly straight and tight. The tin is free of any major dents, structural crushing, or puncture holes.

Honest, age-appropriate cosmetic wear including light micro-scuffs, surface scratches, and a dark layer of oxidation/patina on the top and bottom panels as pictured. The metal remains entirely solid.
