HELP WITH OILCAN OILER - MADE IN ENGLAND

Vintage oiler OIL CAN -- MADE IN ENGLAND - ABBEY OILER. Suggested to try here, can not put my photos here, ????? but I put them in an album here, and can someone put them here ?? Thanks first post and newbie. Thanks from CANADA

Hello again..... I think I have made some headway myself. Appears it may be an oiler for a LOCOMOTIVE TRAIN, as CANON did something like this too ............................ but not sure and .................................. have not found anything about the name ABBEY OILER

To avoid too many ‘false starts’ … I note that the question has been aired elsewhere: **LINK**

Also on the woodworking forum.

But, fair enough, I think the guy is casting his net wide, in the hope of

getting some info.

This one sold at auction in 2019 : **LINK**

At least it suggests that the pump on yours is correct

For the benefit of ‘antiquerose’ … I am bumping this thread

Though given the time difference from Canada, likely to be well down the list by the time they revisit the site.

Good point, Jason

[ someone else can do the next bump … maybe even by answering the question ]

What was the Question? I can only see a request regarding the photos.

I think the question was meant to be something along the lines of :

“… does anyone know what, if anything, is special about it ?”

MichaelG.

Try searching Graces Guide.

Might be untraceable; oil cans and similar were made by many companies, large and small, and it was common for them to be Brand-named on request. 'Abbey' might be the name of a long gone Ironmonger rather than a make.

Oh well … The Earth has done one full turn, and both threads are still on page_1

Presumably not that important after all.

MichaelG.

Or still looking !

Yes, Jason … that is pertinent to my point:

“both threads are still on page_1” of the forum
