So a month or two ago after my girlfriend and I moved into our first house together my father gave me a small three drawer tool box my mothers father used as a road chest for years in the service truck he drove as a Lineman. He also gave me a few older very heavy built hack saws and a couple of grease guns that belonged to him. So the grease guns just have sat idle behind the seat of my truck now for awhile and yesterday while packing bearings for a tracked wagon my HF pistol grip had a Chernobyl moment.
AH -HA! I thought as I went out to get the two old guns from the truck. i cleaned the outside up and when I opened them I found a couple things that will forever sit on my shelf. An old IH grease tube and another from the Lowe Oil Co. out of Clinton MO. my grandfather stopped using that service truck some time in the later 60s early 70s and moved to a Foreman position where he traveled the country a little less to be home with his kids. The two grease guns are Model 410 Zee Matics and they both work completely flawless.
Does anyone know if these can be dated? Im thinking not since they still make the same model.
Thank god for well built US made tools and thank my grandfather for leaving them inside that tool box.
