Offered here is an original US fuel can from the Second World War, clearly marked USA and dated 1944.
Unlike the standard issued jerrycan, this piece represents a less common wartime variant, likely intended for specialized or industrial use within the US military supply system.
The can retains its original yellow paint with red cross marking, traditionally indicating flammable or hazardous fuel contents such as gasoline or diesel. The surface shows honest wear, scratches and oxidation consistent with age, giving it a strong authentic character.
The base is stamped with:
•USA
•20 MC
•G
•44 (production year)
A highly decorative and collectible WWII item, perfect for display in a military vehicle, workshop or collection.
✔️ 100% period piece
✔️ Not a reproduction
✔️ Rare alternative fuel container from WWII
