Colin before our establishment was made into a garage it was a forge and we had to junk all sorts of stuff left over from the early 1900s. Amongst the "junk" was several of the old 2 gallon petrol cans with the brass caps. They all had 3/6d on them and I understand that was the price complete with petrol in them ? We also chucked away all the old enamel signs and countless artefacts that are now "collectors items", back then the only people that collected such stuff was the scrap man
