Description
A vintage-style lithographed tin-plated steel fuel container manufactured by Coleman, branded as The Outdoor Company. The one-gallon can features a red and silver colour scheme with the Coleman logo and lantern device prominently displayed. The front panel includes the bilingual text CAMP FUEL and COMBUSTIBLE DE CAMPING, accompanied by line-art illustrations of a classic Coleman lantern and a two-burner camping stove. Large safety warnings for extreme danger, flammable contents, and poison are present alongside universal pictograms. The side panels provide comprehensive safety, first aid, and directional information in both English and French, identifying the contents as naphtha petroleum. A barcode is located on the side, and the top is fitted with a fixed metal carrying handle and a white plastic child-resistant cap featuring the printed code C006A0505 07:31. The bilingual text and U.S. gallon measurement indicate this item was originally produced for the North American market. Condition: The item is in a used condition showing signs of age and wear. There is visible surface oxidation and rust pitting affecting the top panel, the carrying handle, and the lower seams. The lithographed body exhibits light scuffing, minor scratches, and small indentations, though the primary graphics and text remain bright and legible.
