Is this a vintage milk can? If not what is it?

That's a vintage galvanized 5 gallon pour drum with a spout. Many were used at service stations, some on farms.
If there's any kind of oil company logo on it, that will make it more valuable.

I think it's a watering can (not the kind for flowers, but to bring water to animal troughs), constructed in such a way that there will be minimal spillage on the way.  (Most people, if they have to carry a bucket, will lose about 25% of the water in it if they have to lug it some distance from the water source.)

I have no idea.  I've never seen a can such as that.  It does look like that would be what it was used for - but maybe not?  (Sorry)
