Kerosene jar I found a while back in a old building to bad the lid wasn't on it lots rust.
Patented April 8, 1919, amazing it isn't broken.

That is the fuel tank for a cookstove, some even burned gasoline, yes, in the home. Sat on a valve, upside down, actually they worked very well, my mother heated water for doing laundry.
I even have a gasoline cutting torch if I can find it lll.
The jar says patent 1916 on the jug.
