Is the filler using an iris mechanism to open & close the hole?
 
As far as I can tell it's not from Baines or Kayes who are the only oil can makers I've heard of - I'm aware that there are whole other specialist worlds of collecting where I don't venture - but I do agree that it's an elegant design, nicely made and photographed.
 
Thanks for the poestive comments on the photographs! Autunm is always good for photographs I think, certainly I enjoyed composing these.

It is an iris mechanism (glad I know what to call it now), twisting the rim is what operates it.
