Vintage 1983 BLITZ 5-gallon metal gasoline can with long flexible metal pouring spout.
This classic red steel jerry-style fuel can is embossed with the BLITZ® trademark and marked on the bottom:
20-5-83
USMC
On these cans, USMC refers to U.S. Metal Container Company, the manufacturer associated with Blitz—not the U.S. Marine Corps. The markings indicate approximately 20-liter / 5-gallon capacity and 1983 manufacture.
Measures approximately 18.5” tall × 14” wide × 6” deep.
Features include the heavy steel construction, embossed X-pattern sides, integrated carrying handle, gasoline “G” marking, original gasoline warning label, and long flexible metal pouring spout.
Condition:
Vintage used condition with scratches, scuffs, paint loss, surface oxidation/rust, staining and other wear consistent with age and use. The original warning label remains present but has considerable wear and damage. Spout also shows oxidation and age-related wear.
Can has not been tested for leaks or current fuel storage and is sold as a vintage collectible/display item.
Please examine all photos closely for the exact condition and markings.
A great original piece for a Blitz, vintage automotive, garage, gas & oil, petroliana, Jeep or jerry-can collection.
