Alemite Lube Station

[The Snowman]

Picked up an Alemite Lube Station and a few other items at a local auction. Trying to find some more info on them like around what years this model was made and possible value. Any suggestions on where I can look?

There's an Alemite thread in the A-Z Index of Threads in the Sticky titled READ B4 POSTING! The Search function will lead you to others. Several Alemite (and Lincoln) buffs here might help, or not. (We get a lot of flybys looking for free and easy no-research info.) You could also try Internet Archive for catalogs.

Wow what a snag new guy, congratulations .

Our search function isn’t all the great so here’s the link our local “all things history” guru referenced. Private lugnuts is a wealth of knowledge so I’d suggest going thru the entire thread.

Welcome to the group Snowman
I have several Alemite grease pieces including your latest purchase.
As for a price range I gave $600 for this piece just as it sits



I think that I gave $100 for the pair before restoring the smaller piece



Hope that helps. What part of the country are you in?

Nice find. Just joined yesterday myself, and probably for the same reason. I also recently acquired and restored an Alemite workbench. Only after did I discover that it is only part of a larger merchandiser set. Now I’ll be doing research myself. Welcome

I’m in West Central Indiana. All of the items came from the old Clinton Ford dealership. They were bought out a few years ago and moved locations. Really neat building that has a ramp to drive the cars down after they were assembled upstairs.

Purchased my bench on the eBay from a gentleman near Kenosha wi. No history. Haven’t figured out picture loading yet. Technology is somewhat of a struggle.

 

[Oldsman66]

Had my daughter show me how to load the pictures. Will now be looking for more Alemite pieces to add to this.

Great start Oldsman66 and welcome to the group. Looks like you did a great job on that bench. I'm partial to that black top. I've painted one that way. Is that your Body shop?

 

[Oldsman66]

Thanks. It's the shop at my brother's house that I built and use, that we share. That's him seated in the one shot. After I got married 25 years ago, it was just easier to leave my stuff there than move it all and start over!

Great job here. This is exactly how I started my Alemite merchandiser adventure. I found a beat to death bench and then later found the side cabinets. I'm still on the hunt for the final piece, which is the center section.

You've come to the right place. We have members with extensive collections of merchandisers. Don is one of our all stars around here. I see that he's already given you a small taste of the beautiful stuff that he has.

Once the holiday madness settles down, I’ll get to work on my search adventures… this is going to be fun!

Finally got my ARO lube dispenser lettered that I restored last year. Picked this up at an auction near home three years ago. I had known the owner of it since working with him at a Sunoco service station while I was in highschool. I remember this having a matching oil drain with it, but it didn't survive.
