webley oil can

[Abasmajor]

Some years ago I bought a collection of mainly Webley items from the now defunct Cullens gun shop of lee On Solent, amongst which was a glass Webley oil bottle, the first publicly known about, along with a Webley flyer from 1946 announcing the introduction of these temporary glass oil bottles.
This one had a cork stopper, as did some of those subsequently discovered, but then several screw top bottles appeared, such as the one in Tim Dyson's boxed Senior.
I don't know how many of theses glass oil bottles have now come to light, but I would guess it's now just in double figures, but they are still an extremely scarce item, along with the earlier Webley Valvespout oil can.

Hello David,


Have you ever seen or heard of a surviving example of the very earliest Webley oil can?
