The oiler for a jeep is a classic shaped oil can with the flexible base to "pop" out a drop or two of motor oil for general lube jobs.
I now have two of them, both by the Gem Manufacturing Co, Pittsburgh PA.
The left hand oiler has a 4 inch base and stands 6 & 3/4 inches tall, its marked "GEM MFG CO PITTSBURGH PA"
The right hand one has a 4 & 5/16 base and stands 6 & 1/2 inches tall, this one is marked "GEM MFG. CO. PITTSBURGH"
The larger oiler has a much deeper stamping than the smaller one with a shorter spout, the bases are identical in manufacture.
Both oilers are considered "correct" for a jeep and they both fit nicely into the oil can bracket. Rumour has it the 4 inch base is a bit rarer.

For all your Jeep and Dodge needs:
I'd like to know about a Jeep Ford GPW 1942 <Oil Can> and socket's the following:
1) The size of the socket fixing bolts
2) The painting of both items
Many thanks in advance
