Buyer's Premium:

A mid-20th century industrial bulk lubricant container produced by C.C. Wakefield & Co. Ltd. for the Castrol brand. The container is fabricated from heavy-gauge metal in a cylindrical form with a conical upper section. The side of the drum bears a large embossed script logo reading Castrol. On the top shoulder, there is an oval embossed maker’s mark containing the text C.C. WAKEFIELD & CO. LTD. CASTROL LIMITED STANLOW CHESHIRE. This marking identifies the manufacturer and the company’s major refinery site in Cheshire, indicating a production date from approximately 1960 onwards during the company’s transition to the name Castrol Limited. The drum retains its original screw-top filling cap and a side-mounted carrying handle.
