Vintage WWII-Era US Red Jerry Can — Steel, 18.5" Tall
A classic World War II-era red jerry can, clearly marked “US” on the side, constructed from heavy-duty steel. This original military-style fuel can features a recessed “X” design and the distinctive triple-handle top, allowing for easy transport by one or two people. Its industrial red finish and utilitarian form reflect authentic mid-century military engineering.
The surface shows age-appropriate wear including scratches, dents, rust, and scuffing—adding character and reinforcing its historical provenance. A robust and iconic piece of wartime equipment, ideal for collectors of militaria, vintage automotive accessories, or industrial décor.
This U.S.-marked can is both a functional relic and a bold visual statement.
Condition
In good condition overall, with surface wear consistent with age and use. Scratches, denting, and rust are visible throughout, but the structure remains solid and intact. Clasp and handle show signs of use but appear operable. Please refer to photos for close-up details.
