Of course there were various qualities - even before China came on the scene. Unfortunately, for me, the cheap ones leaked all the time - the mid-priced ones leaked some of the time - and the expensive ones leaked on occasion. I always found the to be a pain in the butt. So I was delighted when the new slant top plastic pour bottle came along.

But, while I certainly have not looked for them, I don't recall seeing the 1 quart paper oil cans around for sale lately. Are they still around ?

What I did prefer and use 'in the good ole dayz' was a 1 quart metal oil can with the adjustable long-neck pour spout. Like many, I would fill it from a 55 gallon oil drum. This device worked perfectly, without any drips or spills.
