Getting there markschum.  Only criticisms I'd have, as mentioned, missing pump lever fulcrum, and at least a small cylinder to simulate the pump itself..  For the era, the top should be more spherical than it is, and the beading at the bottom is oversize, not in thickness but in height.  Those are machine rolled, the top of the bead is crimped down to capture a slight flare on the bottom of the can body. Average height of the bead isn't much more than the thickness.

Shante, I have never yet seen a used oilcan of this type with rust, too much oil protecting the metal, and the tanks are spun on a mandrel they're usually pretty smooth.  Some were die formed, but that's asking a lot of stretch in a piece of steel.  Sounds complicated and time consuming, but for any given operation in the manufacture, seconds, not minutes. dents, now that's another thing, I  don't have any without dents.

And I know, it just seems strange to me that something I've used almost all my life, many people aren't familiar with details.

I did give it a try in wings, shall we say Yeuchh, and let it go at that.  I could, but it wouldn't be a five minute job, more like a couple of days.
