    Old Winchester Oil Can

    I have a full can of old (pre zip code) of Winchester Gun Oil. The printing on the can is absolutely perfect, not a scratch.

    Does anyone know if these are collectible? This is not a for sale listing.

    Very collectible. Check auction sites, and see. I’ve got a few, and would buy again if priced right.

    All vintage/old things Winchester are - especially pristine items.

    I hope I am not horning in, but, as far as Winchester,,
    I wonder if a clay target thrower with Winchester molded into it is valuable?

    There's a difference between value and collectability - so while a Winchester thrower might be desirable to a Winchester collector to fill an empty slot, IMO it's not insanely valuable.

    Now, if you had a pair of Winchester strap-on ice skates...……….

    If it's metal (cast Iron) and has Winchester cast into it, I would bet it has some value.
