A couple saved from the trash can at work.
Both are pre OSHA warnings and pre UPC codes.
With the help of everyone’s favorite expert. AI.
Looks like the green A-9 is from the late 70’s to early 80’s.
And the yellow can is late 60’s to early 70’s.

A recent addition that cleaned up pretty well. Its not terribly old (referenced compatible with 95/5 lead free solder) but holds true to the vintage 1905 graphics they always had.
Just back in from setting in the sun to "level" the contents, and a final cleanup::

That is the best flux ever invented.

Yep. The Nokorode name is accurate--you just wipe off the excess and, unlike other fluxes I've used, it never causes corrosion. Built out an entire brewery with it. Hundreds of sweat joints, fewer leaks than I have fingers.

Rectorseal bought Dunton out in 1998. so my can(s) are at least 28 years old.

If my eyes don't deceive me, yours has a five-digit postal code--so sixties, IIRC?
Here are a couple of interesting historical links...

I was very surprised to see that my cans were much more modern than I expected when I checked them out in 2016.

Not earlier than 1963 for sure but that's a span of around 35 years or so
But the lead free comments should put mine at the later end of that. Still older than i expected.

Estate sale find. Both gallon cans are still sealed and full.

Picked up these two Eagle oilers today. Was going to pass on them as they looked to new. But on some research it seems Eagle stopped making these in the mid 1970’s. So old enough for me. Even though different AI apps are saying 1950’s to 60’s. They look too new. Even if they are from the 70’s. Couldn’t pass them up for $5 a piece. Larger one has wording one the can. Smaller one has wording on the cap.

Ended up with 3 more tonight.
Plews oiler
Not sure the age of this one. But pretty clean Eagle No.28.
This one has no markings but I assume it’s a newer Golden Rod that the sticker fell off of.
