A new use for one of Grandpa's old tools

[ghh3rd]

I've used this very old oiler from my grandfather as a garage ornament for years. I never thought of really using it, but just noticed it while casting, and filled it with Bullplate lube -- one slight touch on the bottom, and one small drop appears, perfect for application on hinges or on a que tip for more refined application.

Thanks, Grandpa!

Those old oil cans are just the thing, I have one but I doubt it's as old as yours.

I have a couple of those, one is completely made out of brass.

They also dispense the right amount to lube presses, etc.

Y'all do lube your presses, right?

Wish I could remember what store I was in that I saw a display of about 30 of these neat little oil cans?Robert

Brings back memories of oiling chains for Grandpa, then him telling me to do my bike chain b4 I went for a ride.

Couldn't tell ya, but Dewey (the cleaning rod people) make the less sexy modern alternative: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/450802/dewey-ultimate-gun-oiler-1-oz-2-1-2-stem

zuke - although they aren't as 'pretty' as mine, they look handy. It looks like the minimum quantity is 10. If you got ten, and don't need all of them, I'd be willing to buy a couple from you and pay to mail them.

It's less then $5 for ten of them, that include's FREE shipping.
