Well, I remeasured the can, this time with my reading glasses on, it's 5-1/8" in diameter. This is a standard can size, though not common. It would be a number 5. They specify them by diameter and it would be a 502 meaning 5-2/16". They do come in different lengths other than the standard #5 can.

Hopefully I can find one at the grocery. Surprisingly I found that they still sell these for home canning. But, the 502 can doesn't seem to be very common. At least not with the places that will sell individual quantities. I don't really want to buy a pallet of them.

But, if the grocery doesn't pan out I'll check with the one place that does sell that size.
