U.S. military Jerry Can, 1951 - $40 (Arden)

Up for sale is a military jerry can, from the vietnam era.
These were used for fuel storage mostly, most often seen on the back of Jeeps.
It's in good condition, with the typical wear and patina expected of an older military item.
It is marked "US" on the side, and CP&F co.
on the top, with a "W" and "51" stamping as well.
I assume the "51" refers to the year of manufacture.
