This is a real nice original 6-feed mechanical oiler or lubricator for an early gas engine, tractor, car or truck, or other piece of machinery. It was made by Detroit Lubricator Company in Detroit. It is in excellent condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind except for the glass tent on the top which really doesn’t affect anything. It seems to have very little wear anywhere on it. It has a cast iron body. The original level sight glass is good. It turns smoothly and pumps oil from 2 of the pumps. I really see no reason it doesn’t pump on all of them but it probably needs a good internal cleaning as it has been sitting a while. The case measures about 4 3/4 x 9 inches and is about 6 1/2 inches tall overall. Overall it is about 10 inches long. It mounts with four holes on a 5 3/8 x 7 3/8 pattern. These early Detroit 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.
