Not a collection. I just could not get rid of them…

 

 

Nice little collection 

Here is a Craftsman that I just found today

All this talk about oilers. I go to a yard sale and lo and behold!

What I find funny is that even oil cans in antique stores are sometimes full of oil. That's a bonus with the price of oil.

Found a nice little Marvel Mystery oil can today. 4oz.

So, this winter was a little brutal as far as work on my Wheel Horse collection, but I did stay busy working on my oiler collection. Between my brother-in-law, my wife, and me, we covered a lot of antique shops in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Florida. It wasn't just for my oilers, but my wife collects old restaurant creamers. So here are some updated pictures of my oilers

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are no two exactly alike 

 

Mrs. M collects creamers. Here is her collection. 

 

 

 

Just like my collection, no two are alike.

After looking at all of the Tin Man photos from the movie, I am convinced that my oiler is identical to the one in the picture.
