Webley Oil Cans

A place to discuss all things Webley. As this is probably the most collected airgun maker we felt it deserved a section of its own.

Webley Oil Cans

Post by Certus » Thu May 16, 2013 6:56 pm

Hello,

I now concentrate on collecting accessories and pellet tins etc rather than air guns thinking this might be considerably cheaper.

Here is a picture of my current collection of Webley oil cans which cost around 1/6d when new but now unfortunately fetch prices in the hundreds of pounds. Unlike pellet tins cans could not be reused for storing odd screws etc so were discarded when empty making them hard to find these days.

Imageays.

Regards

Brian

Nice set of oil cans.

I recently picked up a good condition green pellet tin, pictures already posted in a thread on here, which was at a but it now for £18. Bargain, really.

I do hope to pick up an oil can one day, but will, more than likely, end up with a repro.

Kind regards,

Just doing a little job this morning and discovered that actually all my BA taps are in one of those green Webley tins.

I’m going off to go find myself. If I’m not back by the time I return, keep me here.
