SS Kanister - Jerry Can

[Rossi]

Hello,

I acquired the photographed SS Kannister / Jerry Can below today. It is Sandrik marked. Sandrik was a Czech Company during WWII and the only maker to my knowledge. This one is in great shape and from what I can tell it looks to be the original paint. Hope you like.

Points checked before my purchase:

- Red enamel throat
- Fully welded handle
- Correct hole placement in lid latch
- Round vent tube in the throat is essential for an original kannister.
- No Daisy mark stamp on cap lid.
- Font / Type on front of kannister is correct compared to the reproductions I have seen.

Thanks MAP,

Why Yes. It is pretty dry now other than 1 buckle I still have to get. This can, visor and that buckle might be the last pick ups for awhile. I got nothing else to take pictures of. Sold a few WWI and WWII Duplicates a few months back I had not much connection with to makes some room for some items on the want list. Wife says I am in principals office now for a bit. She said for every new piece that comes in 2 pieces have to go. Okay Sold 2 tinnies and picked up SS Kannister. All good? I am Banned to the war room. Which is where I work so all good.

Thanks History Man. Yep this one still had about a 1/4 cup of good old crude in it from the seller. I have a 1945 US Jerry Can for my Jeep and carry spare gas in it all the time.

So a win / win outcome!

Map....Is this what happens in your Principals Office?

Nice original example. Always good to see traces of the primer coat too...

SANDRIK is a Slovakian company, still operating today. The original machinery has unfortunately been used to create many of the fake examples of these SS marked cans.
