Shell Sonitor Corrosion Inhibitor for Fuel Oil Tanks Shell Oil Company Tin Can Petroliana Collectible Skull Crossbones Poison Warning Condition: Label is in very good condition with bold, legible text on both front and back. Shell pecten logo and skull/crossbones graphic are vibrant. Cream, red, and yellow color scheme is bright with minimal fading. Light surface wear. Lid is open/gone. Minor rust along bottom rim. Back panel shows company addresses (both New York and San Francisco). Blue tape on top. Approximately 4 inches tall. Strong display piece for petroliana collectors. Nothing screams 'grandpa's garage aesthetic' quite like a can that proudly warns you it contains sodium nitrite and borax. The skull and crossbones really committed to the marketing strategy before lawyers ruined everything. AI penned this without ever inhibiting corrosion or poisoning anything. Study the photos, use your own expertise to determine what this is, and bid accordingly. Sold as-is, no matter what the robot says.
