Wanna know what another obsolete object is, a real one, no longer made and with no functional use anymore?
An lubricant oil can spout.
We stopped selling lubricating oil in cans like at least 35 years ago.
I have vague memories from my childhood of seeing cans of oil stacked in a store, but I can't tell if its a hallucination or memory, or something I actually saw, it would have been when I was very young based on the perspective I can recall them at.
(edited to add the word lubricant)
No, it's still common, but used more in industrial settings. Most machine shops and auto shops will have such a can in easy reach.
I'm not talking about metal cans with a screw top or port on it, these were completely sealed, and you had to use an external opener which pierced the metal top.
All of the metal oil cans I've seen in machine shops are larger 5gal ones, that have a screw on port.

Here is an example of what one looks like.
