Esso Multi-Purpose Grease Can 5 Pound White Red Blue Metal Tin Standard Oil Petroliana Gas Station Advertising Collectible Condition: Poor to fair. Lid is completely missing (open top). Significant rust, oxidation, and paint loss covering approximately 40-50% of the can body, heavily concentrated on the back side and upper rim. Front panel retains the Esso oval logo in faded red with blue outline, readable MULTI-PURPOSE GREASE text, and AN ESSO PRODUCT along the bottom stripe. Interior shows dried grease residue and surface corrosion. The front is the best face, the back is barn find energy. A rough but displayable example of early Esso petroliana. Esso: before they went and got all corporate about it. This can has seen more engines than most mechanics ever will. An AI wrote this and probably got at least one thing wrong. Review all photos carefully, determine for yourself what this item actually is and its condition, and remember everything is sold as-is no matter what the robot says.
