Alemite oil drain

[Drdaves49]

Hi All,
I picked this drain up a couple weeks ago and am looking for info. I'm wanting to restore it to orig. cond.. I've searched the web and haven't found any clear pics of one. Anybody have one?

Mainly I am not sure of the "v" front trim.

Thanks
Dave

Wow! That thing is pretty cool. Sorry I have no information but that is a great find nonetheless!

Thanks....amazing as it may sound , I found it in a field next to some late 60's Nova fenders, next to a late 30's Packard.

Evidently this guy collected Packards, I saw at least half a dozen late 30's , several frome the fifties......all protected by blackberries. The people working there are still uncovering cars...., MG midgets, a 63 Lincoln Cont. .....no idea how many there are. It's a Pickers heaven....

The old Packards have had all the front sheet metal and engines removed.....sheet metal was stored in barns.

It's truly amazing to me....having lived in Ks. and seeing rust....that as much rain as we get in Oregon how little rust there actually is.
