    Oilers

    Still raining and still bored.

    Pulled out some exrta oilers. If anyone has any different ones, I would be interested.

    Nice Collection. To complete a US GI collection all you need is a Polley Brothers and Verson, and a Yankee Hill Machine.

    Bill,

    Do you by chance have those others for sale? If so email me please.

    I read somewhere about a BW, but have never seen one, have you? Maybe it was a misprint.

    These weren't the best examples I had of each, just what was in a bag and quick to round up for a photo. Some nicer in guns but didn't want to take them off.

    Thanks,

    Jim

    BW is a myth. There are other items that never existed that are printed in books.

    I know the SW on cap wasn't really Winchester either, I think I read somewhere Grease Gun.

    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 Germanicon slings.

    I have a 5.6 Win that I've owned since 1969

    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.

    JimF4M1sicon, 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.
