REME 245 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) This is the holder for the Oil Can David is refering to from a Daimler Armoured Car but every manufactuer produced their own designs. It should have a spring which hooks over the top to secure the can. Edited January 17, 2021 by REME 245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Tim 27026 appears in my 1952 VAOS, but I don't know when it was introduced. It has a specific purpose to accommodate 1/2 pint & 1 pint Wesco oil cans. So I don't know from when these cans were in use. Left hand 43990 & right hand 43989 holders were for WD 1/2 pint cans which suggest they were codified later.

rupert condick Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 hi Tim, i can only really guess an that would be for the Austins, 1st type 1940- March 1943 maybe 2nd type March 1943 on 3rd type October 1944 on So a mix regs rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packhow75 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Rupert Do you have a ww2 dated manual or any form of period documentation which shows the 3rd pattern in use during the ww2 period? I have a pile of NOS 3rd pattern holders, but have assumed them to be post ww2 as there is no evidence (that I am aware of) to suggest they are WW2 vintage. I do not want to use the wrong type on my restoration. My ces listing simply describes the part as "Wesco Clip" and there is no drawing that I have found yet.

The wire version feels post war to me (not just because of the colour and label). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean N Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Keeping the cans together, I've got a couple of these that came with some WD gallon and quart oil cans. Maker is J. T. Laver of London, dated 11-43 but no WD mark or broad arrow. Are they anything specific or just a nice can? I also have some of the gallon oil cans Alistair and Richard were discussing at the start of the thread, and some of the smaller quart cans, if anyone is after one. 1950s and 1960s dates.
