I remember motor oil coming in the round cans with metal tops and bottoms. They sold a tool which consisted of a metal spout with a punch on one end. You jabbed the can with the punch end, and it would stick in the can. Then you used the spout to pour the oil.

I always kept a magnetic church key stuck under the hood of my car. I could use the punch end for opening cans of oil, and if I needed a bottle opener, I had one handy.

I remember the beer and soda pop cans, and also the bottles, which required a church key. By the time that I started drinking beer, we had pop top cans, and twist-off bottle caps.

I have an old cone top root beer can, which came from a farm auction. The bottom has been cut out of it. I feel certain that someone cut the bottom out of the can, and used it as a funnel. The cone top would have made it perfect for the job.
