This is a real nice original 4-feed mechanical oiler or lubricator for an early gas engine, tractor, or other piece of machinery. This was likely used on a Rumely Oil Pull tractor. It is a Model XW and was made by Manzel Brothers. It is in excellent condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind except for the glass tent on the top. It may be able to be repaired as a large part of it is in decent shape. It seems to have very little wear anywhere on it. It turns and ratchets as is should and pumps oil from 3 of the lines but I can’t seem to get it to pump from the fourth line. It probably needs a good internal cleaning. The original level sight glass is good. It mounts with two holes about 11 3/4 inches apart on center. The case measures about 4 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches and is about 6 1/4 inches tall overall. Overall it is about 14 inches long. These early Manzel lubricators are extremely difficult to find in the wild or even at swap meets so if you’ve been looking for one don’t miss your chance on this one. It will likely be a long time before another one turns up and it probably won’t be this nice. I can be reached at 262 573 1931 if you’d like to talk about it. The pictures tell the story.
