Hi

An old friend of mine who does Farm, Garage clearance etc came across this old JBP/Castrol grease gun and grease cylinders.

I have purchased it from hom with a view to restore and use (sure will make greasing all the ruddy nipples on the Girl easier).

I can only find one reference to this item on the interwebby, and that is a sectioned display item at the National science museum.

I assume based on the NCS item that it is probably made in 1938.

Is it American ? not much detail as to where made etc.

If anyone has any info please let me know.

Some pics below of item as it is now, will show some more oncde restored.

Cheers

Gary

A car is only original once, but, you can modify it as many times as you like.

Sorry I can’t help with the info but if you can get it working it looks like it will be a good bit of kit to have. I presume the different pots are for different grades of grease. It looks like it would be an interesting piece to adorn a collector’s shelves.
I might be rough but I’m slow as well.

This is not going to some collector to display it willbe nade to work.

Old tools and cars are meant to be used.

Finding anything about this item is not easy but I am sure the isinfo out there somewhere.

Cheers and stay safe.
