Featured in this lot is this Wolf's Head Motor Oil And Lubes five gallon oil canister from the 1950s. Wolf's Head motor oil has a history dating back to 1879 when it was founded in Reno, Pennsylvania. The company initially focused on producing engine lubricants and various motor oil blends. Wolf's Head played a significant role in the "Pennsylvania Crude" phenomenon and was an integral part of the early oil industry.
