A rare find! This French original 1-quart Singer Oil Can, would make a lovely decoration to any sewing room or den! The can has a screw lid on the top and is empty. This can contained No. 1 oil. In France, Singer sold No. 1, No.2, No. 4, and M.R. oil in these cans with the designation on the front.
