Need info on vintage white rose oil can


I was at the swap meet in Regina today and saw white rose oil can colored red and white with barcode ?? I thought that company was over in the 50s therefore no barcode back then, what's up with this ?

White Rose lasted until the mid '60s, until Shell bought it out.

I'd say that the can is a repro. Barcode no. Repros run for $12.00

It also had two little holes in it with black oily probably to make people think it had oil in it at one point ??

Believe it or not there were White Rose liter cans. So the company was around at least till late 70s. Heres a picture from a Facebook Oil Can group Im on. If you look close on the left side I believe there is a barcode.

 Weird. Shell must have kept them as a brand for a while. Cardboard can.

I remember the litre cans also. If I recall the White Rose oil was sold in grocery stores in the late 70s.
