0 views
**
A one-half gallon rectangular REDEX motor oil tin with a yellow ground and bold red and black typography. The front panel features the iconic REDEX logo with a central red ‘X’ on a black and white target-style ground, surrounded by a red banner. The text identifies the product as an ‘EXTREME PRESSURE OIL ACTIVATOR & CARBON REPELLENT’ and a ‘WORLD WIDE CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE WITH ECONOMY AND LONGER WEAR’. The lower portion of the front panel states the product was ‘ORIGINATED & DEVELOPED IN GREAT BRITAIN’ and ‘MADE IN U.S.A.’ with addresses for REDEX, INC. in Brooklyn 5, N.Y., and REDEX in London W.4, England. The side panels include a ‘Typical REDEX Improvements’ chart documenting technical performance gains and information on joining the REDEX Car Club. The reverse provides detailed application instructions for air-intake injection and mixing ratios for various engine and transmission oils. The top retains its original screw-on metal cap. The tin stands approximately 9 inches tall.
Condition report:
The tin displays an aged appearance consistent with its intended use. There is visible surface rust along the upper and lower seams and across the top surface around the cap. The yellow lithographed surfaces show some minor scratches, small dents, and light surface soiling but remain vibrant with fully legible text. No significant structural damage is apparent.
