Did you get all that from Freecycle?

In my neighborhood, we have "heavy trash" pickup once a month. I call it
"foraging night." In addition to a shop-vac, a recliner, and other goodies,
my prize is a WW2 jerry can. It's a military five-gallon gas can and is in
perfect shape. What makes this one so neat is the stencil on the bottom:

09-44 IIIArmy

You can Google for the exploits of the US 3rd Army in September 1944. This
very gas can may have helped liberate the 101st Airborne at Bastonge in
December 1944. Who knows?
