Oil can holder from Ebay.

This was from an auction about a month ago, and it sold for $175. What did I miss or what am I not seeing or aware of to command this price? It started at $49.99. Makes me think I should sell the nice cast one that I have.

You might try looking at elevator bolts. They are pretty close to what you are looking for, but they seem to vary by the manufacturer, the head profile differs a bit (from manufacturer to manufacturer). I needed some when attaching a Kari-Keen trunk to my Model A.
