I came across this at a garage sale. The people I got it from said it came from Colorado but didn't know much more. It is made of 2 types of metal. The majority is made of a really hard alloy but not sure what it is and the other is what looks like some sort of brass sheeting. The main part is very hard metal and the 2 pieces are brazed together. Small snips were made that overlaid the metal it was joined to and then brazed so that it doesn't leak. The bottom has some dents that were intentionally made so that the can wont tip over after setting it down. There doesn't seem to be much rust , or oxidation from the elements. It is a really cool looking piece but I can't find out anything about it, where it was made or for what reason it was made. I am also wondering if it might be worth anything as well as if it is a one of a kind , single made can or if there might be others similar to mine.
If you are looking at picture #3 , the widest part is 4 3/4"
The side view ( narrow view ) is 3 1/2"
The width of the neck is 1 3/8" from the side, front, or back
The height is 6"
The ID of the hole in the top is 1 1/2"
The OD of the hole on the top is 2 7/16"
The 1st pic is of a cd/dvd next to it to judge the size of it.
Thanks to anyone who might be able to shed some light on it.
