'Sterling' was one of the earliest brand names used by
Canadian Oil Companies Limited.
Products listed on the side panel all have the prefix
'Sterling'.
Next came the products under the "National" brand name
with two lions at the top and bottom of the
graphics .
Shown are the gallon and quart sizes
Then the 'En-Ar-Co' brand name
with the Quality First logo
Finally the 'Boy and Slate' arrives.
These quart containers have a swing pour spout
attached.
The "White Rose" brand name appears after 1938
This is a round one quart tin , similar to a motor
oil tin,
but notice screw cap on the top .
This is the last version that I am aware of .
This colour and logo predates 1953.
I guess the days of the hand-separator were over!
