    @evelyb30 you asked for some railroad stuff this is the only piece I have a picture of handy.

    Near as I can tell it was for oiling pieces and parts on a steam engine. Not really sure of age but being tin I'm guessing 20's or 30's. The chain and all to keep the lid from rolling away on a moving train is still intact.

    The date is pure guess, so as always additional information is always welcome.

    Baltimore & Ohio! Been in their museum more than once. I'd guess 1920s is about right, and yes for oiling locomotives.
