Notes: With today's widespread use of plastic products, including buckets, it is hard for people to visualise the old square kerosene and benzine tins.
Before electric power was introduced, kerosene was in fairly general use for house lights. When petrol became an everyday requirement, it also was sold in tins.
There was soon a surplus of tins and, naturally, they were put to many uses.
