IMG_0306.jpegJust won these via an eBay auction. Does anyone know what era they are from? A relative wants to know if they are period corrcet to his McCulloch 1-51.

Those cans are much later than the 1-51, probably 15-20 years difference. 1-51 vintage would be the cMc logo (yellow can) or even the goose.

The mountain logo (white can) and the ones you are showing would have been late 70's to 80's vintage.

If I remember correctly, the scan attached is from a 1974 publication.

I remember my grandfather using those mix cans in his McCullough saw - that photo brought back memories! He was a worker, for sure. As Mark said, late 70s or very early 80s fits the time frame I remember, but not sure how long after that they could have remained in use.
