Private Collection: Solar Milk Can

This Solar Milk Can was likely manufactured in the 1930's and was used up until the 1950's or 1960's. This one came from a dairy in either Illinois or Michigan. The previous owner used it as a stool. The previous owner last used it in Des Moines, Iowa. It is now in a private collection in NW Iowa. It is going to be cleaned up and repainted to protect it from further corrosion and will continue to be used as a stool.
