Does anyone have a good source for Flimsys and Shell cans?
Our re-enactment unit is working up to having multiple WWII British
vehicles in the field at events, and as the vehicle NCO, I'd like to
get a standard of non-farby ness when it comes to maintaining
vehicles. We've started using wooden compo boxes for food and stores,
period vehicle based tommy cookers and other kid for camp items (a
vehicle unit is nice in that we can go heavier than a foot unit
does). However, I feel like a complete Farb when I'm pouring oil into
my Dingo's engine from a white plastic Castrol can.
So, does anyone have a good solid source for Flimsey and Shell petrol
or oil cans that we could clean out ahead of time and fill with the
necessary oils and lubricants (OMD-110, 220, etc) for the vehicles?
We already have a good solid supply of all the Jerry cans for all the
petrol and water that we need. I don't relish the idea of trying to
pour oil out of a Jerry can.
