oil can finish

Question
thinking of buying an old scotty cameron putter. the seller says its an oil can finish. what does this mean,will it rust badly?

Answer
Joe,

The oil can finish was sort of a shiney, metallic finish on the steel putter head. If not taken care of, they will rust. In most cases you would just have to make sure that you clean and dry the putter after each round, and treat it woth some kind of oil every week or so. I'm sure there are ways to find out how to care for these. I never owned one, but a lot of my friend's used them. Make sure it's not rusty before you buy it.

Sorry for the delay in answering.
