Lot 74: A Collection of Vintage Garage Oil Pourers
A collection of vintage mid-20th-century oil measures typically used in automotive workshops and garages across the United Kingdom. The items are constructed from sheet metal, likely tin-plated or painted steel, featuring soldered loop handles and integrated, angled trough-style pouring spouts designed for decanting bulk oil into engine fillers. The assortment comprises various sizes and finishes, including measures in dark green, light green, bright blue, and red, alongside a heavily oxidised unpainted example. One dark green measure retains partial hand-painted lettering in orange-red, reading Li, though the full manufacturer or brand name is not discernible. The items are fitted with modern auction lot stickers numbered 13 and 074.
Approximate capacities range from half-pint to half-gallon.
