Early Irving Velco (striped)
Add a rare and desirable piece of Canadian petroliana to your collection with this Early Irving Velco Striped Motor Oil Can.

Featuring bold striping and classic Irving branding, this vintage can captures the look and feel of a bygone era when service stations were community landmarks and branded oil products were marketed with distinctive, memorable packaging. Surviving early Velco cans are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples with strong colors and clean display appeal.
