Vintage Stihl Gas Can with Original Accessories
Blitz USMC 1984
With Original Stihl grease gun and Stihl file handle
For auction is a vintage Stihl gas can with detachable parts compartment underneath. The can dates from 1984 or 85 when I bought my first chainsaw. The can has seen very little actual use, but it did develop some surface rust which I cleaned and painted many years ago. I tried to match the original Stihl orange colors and came pretty close, as shown in the photos. Same with the white lower part. If you look closely at the photos, you can see the subtle difference between the old and the new paint. There appears to be some rust on the inside of the gas can, so it will need cleaning and re-sealing if gas is to be carried in it. The rubber gasket and side latches are in good condition and are fully functional.
On the top of the gasoline can is written
3.8 Liters
One Gallon
DOT 5L
USMC
20 – 1 – 84
Blitz
The cap to the gas can is stamped
Blitz 1984 USMC.
The grease gun is designed to lubricate the front sprocket in the chain bar. Modern bars don’t need to be greased. The gun still contains some of the original grease and is fully functional. There is some surface damage, as shown in the photos.
The file handle is also original to the kit and is marked “STIHL” on the side.
