Hi.
I'm looking for pictures of the different style of cool cans that were available in the late 60's early 70's.
To be exact 1968 to 1972, and any information that you have on the make and style of cool can.
I'm trying to educate myself before I go looking for one.
Thanks
Bernhard

In my opinion the most popular ones in that time frame were Moroso and mr gasket. There were others but not as popular. I have both at home I will ad pictures later if you want

Thanks for the feed back, I'm familiar with both the MR Gasket and Moroso units.Do you know what was the first year of the Moroso unit and what color was first produced red or white?
Thanks

I believe the first ones were made by stahl and had a blue lid then changed to Moroso with the white lid

Anyone know what the correct paint match is for the red lid? Or close to it?
My can is a fixer upper...

Thanks

I guess it was whatever color the flour tin manufacturer had in stock at any given time.
