My grandparents owned a large dairy farm from the late 1930s' until their deaths recently, and milk cans similar to these were used to transport milk from the dairy floor to the holding tank. My dad remembers using cans like these when he was young. This larger example of such a milk can is in very good shape, as you can see in the pictures. Sure, if one looks closely enough, as in the closeups, one can see very, very minor dents and dings and other surface imperfections, but the can otherwise is in respectable shape. You can judge its size by the tiny can of Coke (not included) placed next to the milk can in the first picture for scale. After thorough searching, I was able to find a faint stamp indicating this is a 40 quart container, but no other markings are obvious, such as a date or location of manufacture. Measures about 23" tall, 14" in diameter, and weighs 27 pounds. The gold colored cherub decals and other artistry is crisp and clear for the most part. One of the cherubs is missing a small section of decal, all of which appear to have been applied in the 70's. I've added plenty of pictures, as well as a YouTube video, below, allowing you to see the can in greater detail. Add this to your farm/ country-styled home as a corner piece, or as an artistic vase for a bundle of tall dried sunflowers. (1000) Click in the center of the box, below, for the video:
