Oilzum Grease Can (5lb)

This vintage 5-lb Oilzum Grease can is a highly sought-after example of early American lubrication branding. Produced by the White & Bagley Company, Oilzum was known for its premium oils and distinctive marketing—most notably the bold orange-and-white color scheme and the famous chauffeur mascot, Oswald, whose helmeted profile is prominently featured on the can.
Constructed from heavy-gauge metal, this large-format grease tin was designed for commercial and automotive applications, making surviving examples rare because most were used hard in shops and then discarded. Its strong graphics, tall cylindrical shape, and substantial size give it exceptional shelf presence and make it a prized item among petroliana enthusiasts.
