Here is an extremely hard to find oiler made by Michigan Lubricator Company specifically for a Backus gas engine cylinder. It is in good condition with no breaks or repairs but does have some testament to its days in service as can be seen. It retains some of the original nickel plating and has a few nicks but still has great patina and would look great on an original engine. It is between a #5 and #6 size with the glass measuring about 3 3/8″ diameter and about 3 5/8″ tall. Overall the oiler is about 3 3/4″ diameter and about 9″ tall. It is marked “144 1/2″ on a hex flat and it has the original filler plug. It had 7/8-12 straight machine threads and someone put tapered pipe threads on it for the first portion. The straight threads should still work just fine. Both glasses are good but it needs new gaskets. It has vent tubes casted into the main stem as you can see in the pictures. This would be a great compliment to a high quality engine! It would even make a great spare on the shelf. The pictures tell the story. You’ll like it. I can be reached at 262 573 193 1 if you’d like to talk about it.
