question weird jerrycan..

[Willyslancs]

Can anyone tell what this can might have been fitted to?....

[Tony B]

What dimensions is it? Looks more like a hip flask! :-D

Might it be a French wine flask?

[Willyslancs]

sorry dont know any dimensions ......

[Tony B]

Looks quite small, wonder if the hooks were for a strap?

[Bodge Deep]

Possibly VW beetle or splitscreen van, sitting in the spare wheel... although i don't recognise the lugs on the side :-|

Unless it's for an artillery piece, or some other crew served weapon, not a vehicle? Recuperator oil or some such.

Nowhere near big enough for a French wine flask!

Unless I'm dreaming which is entirely possible ISTR seeing something like this on either a Kubel or Schwimwagen.
