I had one once exactly like the one on the far left. I thought it was just a cheapo aftermarket, and gave it away with a carbine I sold. Did I get rid of a treasure? Must be smaller for the thicker German slings.

I shows absolutely no signs of a rebuild and is thought to be original. The oiler is an SW on the lid with a circle.
JimF4M1s, the far left oiler in your second picture looks like the one for a sewing machine. This one came with the tool kit for a heavy duty double needle machine I bought a few years ago. Same dimensions as a USGI WWII era oiler but with thicker walls and no rod attached to the cap.

The one on the left looks like the European ones I saw back in the 1980's. They had rounded bottoms. I think they came in from Holland, but not sure.
The West German is unique. One day I will dig them out and post a picture.
Then it must be that rare Singer oiler? I should look harder for a B code on the bottom.Quote:

The OP here I know is on the hunt for one.

Might there be a photo of the "Yankee Hill Machine" that could be posted? Thanks, John
Holy moly Charlie, this is a three year old thread brought back from the near dead. But nothing new has changed in oilers during that time.Quote:

For those who haven't seen one, here is a photo (of a photo) of the oiler.
