Could be very wrong, but on that style spout normally in centre, can looks more aged that label..

If we are talking about Item number:184672087137, it is entirely wrong with a correct style label attached to a much later and wrongly styled reproduction tin.
Item no 184672087137
This is what a good reproduction Webley oil can of the period should look like.

Looks like a repro label, sized to fit one of those Singer sewing machine oil tins from the 1950's/60' ?
On the other hand it could be a one-off prototype 'can made for Webley by Singer, and as such worth a fortune? Tricky one!

So prior to the invention of the Valvespout oiler in the early 1930s, was Webley oil supplied in bottles, or in tins as well?

I think your suggestion of it being a re-labelled 'Singer' oil can could well be correct, Chris, as I have a similar 'Singer' can on the shelf.Originally Posted by slug-gun
As for it possibly being a one off prototype, I very much doubt that as the 'Webley' on the top is wrong, being curved on the top edge of the logo instead of the bottom edge.
It's a pity there is no rear view.

Yup, same tin as on the bay 233897473100 . There are quite a few examples of that exact tin listed.

A bit like the joint venture when Castrol did a go faster GTX air rifle oil in conjunction with Giffard.
