We have an oil can, antique item.  The finish is completely covered in surface rust.  It measures about 6 1/2" from the top of the spout to the bottom of the can with the can measuring about 6 1/4" from the cap to the bottom of the can.  The cap is about 1 3/4" across with the base being about 5 3/4".  The cap is rusted in place and there is something "rattling" inside, maybe old dried up oil?.  This would be a great shelf piece.
