I believe this is a Locomotive oiler can as I have found some other pics similar to this under the name of CANON from around 1919...... they too have a side pump like mine, so researching in that direction now
Rather than click on the image link of the similar one like mine, I located their real website and found that one like it, but it is made in the Usa, and a Cannon one ........SO MAYBE mine is also for the railroad .... it does say that one is a :
Lot 224: Vintage railroad oil can stamped Cannon...

Hi, I am from Canada here, and was directed to try your page from someone in the UK. Seems like this is woodworking, but maybe someone can still help me on this. I have an oiler here that says on it ABBEY OILER - MADE IN ENGLAND. It is about 14 inches tall. Does anyone know?
