Some Small Oilers

(1/1)

mikeswrenches:
Here are some some small oil delivery cans I've gathered up over the years.  What is the proper name?  Oil can doesn't sound right, since that is what I visualize oil coming in.  Like a Wolfs Head quart oil can.

Have seen the top ones called pocket oilers, in addition to being small, they have a cover so the oil doesn't leak out into your pocket...

There is definitely a collector niche for those btw...

Nice colection, I only have the thumb pump types.

I've always like those little oil cans.   Heard the small ones called sewing machine oilers, and seen a couple of chrome ones with the name  Singer.   As far as collecting wise, they dont' take up a lot of room!  Seems like there was a huge selection of them, and the pocket ones too.
