Rare and Beautiful Somers Bros c. 1880s Squeeze Pump Oiler with Original Paper Litho Wrap steel wire basket Very good condition and allIts only rarely that I am really struck by an oil can, but this one may just be my new favorite object. I believe this sort is often called a banjo oiler due to its form, and one would release oil from it by squeezing pressing the center (it feels like an old squeak toy to mevery satisfying!) Ive found no other with wonderful paper litho wrap decorating the sides, and with the aid of a magnifier I am able to read some printed text on itFunnel Piller
