Jim, I found a donkey d**k at a local pawn shop, US GI one. Missing the screen though, but I believe they are available cheap on line. My cost was 10 bucks. Interested?

I'm lookin' for the spin on type. Pawn shop is a good idea though.. There's one in Mt Vernon. I'll check it out.

Are you looking for the plastic one for the current spectre cans? unclesamsretailoutlet might have them.

This is what I was "seeing". The ones from my youth, seems so recent but I guess it ain't anymore.

They were spin on with four rolled over tabs that matched the rolled over tabs on the early jerry cans.

They made a vissssssss.... sound and always leaked a little.
