- Dated 1953 , embossed WD & broadarrow. Brass cap is marked AAO & Co. Ltd. It seems AAO was Anglo-American Oil Co. a subsidiary of Standard Oil Co. Predecessors of ESSO, apparently the company name was changed 1951 to ESSO Petrol Co. Ltd. So - seems like they were lazy in change of cap casting.
Has had a smear on a base soldered seam (probably Devcon) , container is all solder seam construction - flimsy ?
If you are interested - I am open to of
