Created in 1894, 3-IN-ONE Oil has seen its can of oil "morph" throughout its 106-year history—from a glass bottle in the late 19th century, to the familiar red and white tin can around World War II, to the recent introduction of a high-tech plastic Telescoping Spout.
WD-40 Company, manufacturer of 3-IN-ONE Oil, is calling on consumers to ransack their homes for the oldest can or bottle of 3-IN-ONE Oil they can find. The winner of the contest—that is, the person whose bottle is deemed the oldest—will receive a $1,000 cash reward and a Dremel prize package that includes a Dremel Professional Tool, Right Angle Attachment, Auto/Cycle Repair Kit and Home Improvement Kit. The second place winner will receive a Dremel MultiPro Kit and Right Angle Attachment, while third place will receive a Dremel MultiPro Kit.
