[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 322654, member: 84"]I won this at a auction for a antique shop that was going out of business. At first I was excited - I thought I had a civil war era gun powder cask, but then I found a small faucet on the side & I started thinking it was a water cask. BUT, then I found that the cap was made of metal - and now I'm thinking it's too new to be civil war - especially if it was made to carry extra gas! But the faucet is so small - trying to fill up a gas tank in war would take a awful long time as it trickled out of that little faucet doesn't make sense either. Can anyone tell me what I have - and how old it may be? Thanks - I appreciate any help.
