Any help with this piece please, ha no markings, simply picked it up at a good price and looked unique and older... about 7" in height.

Are you sure that's a kettle.?

I'm seeing an oil can.

I am very unsure if it is a kettle lol. Good thing you pointed that out... anything special about this oil can? Lol. Thank ypu Sir.

I'm not sure myself... but I did sell an old primitive (olive) oil can years ago that looks almost identical to yours.?

Doing a quick search I'm not finding anything old, but here is a fairly modern example of the olive oil can I'm referring to...it will give you an idea of what I'm talking about..

One difference I see is that the spout on your can has a much wider opening at the tip, compared to the smaller opening on the one I show as an example.?

Also, the cone shaped lid has me really stumped

It just doesn't seem to fit properly..and your picture shows a difference in the colour of the lid compared to the body of the can, as though it was a later replacement??

Hmm...doing another search, I found these oil cans.

Two of the pictured items are torch lamps, not oil cans. Search antique railroad torch lamp.
