PETROLEUM DISPENSING TANK


A very rare early survivor. This has been through two world wars, has been shot through with bullets & repaired, repainted by the supplier & now restored by me....and still it survives!
It's well over a hundred years old & was used to dispense measured quantities, half litre, 1,2 &3 litres of petroleum spirit!
It stands about 4 ft (1200mm) tall & would have held about 200 litres. Great piece of history.
