I can't figure out how to post pics on this board
but I found an old tool I don't know what the heck is
the link is to another tool board that I have posted pic's of the mystery tool on but they are mainly (older tools) guys
and no one on that board knows what the heck it is ether so.....
thanks for any help in identifying this old tool you may want to share ,
I am blaine by the way,from the swamp lands in LA.

Old school blow gun?

Does the small end look like it might fit a zert grease fitting?

Time for a first post....It's an oil pump, for pumping oil, (duh) into fittings that are similar to, but not the same as a grease ******.

Carvers knife, for gouging out the spoon..

the metal thing is a hand pump grease gun(old school). I have one similar. the wooden thing with the blade may be a hand made oyster husker and some spoons?

well,its working now,Yippieeeeee

 

[blainenbecky]

one of the inside,it is starting to look like some kind of grease devise
but no grease in the thing at all,maybe an air pump of some kind as the tip is spring loaded

BlainenBecky,

Thanks for posting this. I have a similar tool in my "what is it box" so I hope you don't mind me joining your thread here in the never-ending quest for tool knowledge. I agree with you that it must be some sort of grease dispenser. Mine is from W. Germany and has a very small tip on it. The plunger mechanism looks very similar to yours but I am still not sure if you pack it with bulk grease or if there is a cartridge that fit it both of our tools.

Rusty Musket We used a very similar tool on old Heidelburg presses to grease the moving joints on old windmill presses.

 

[blainenbecky]

WOW!!
very cool,now we are getting close
when you say a press do you mean as in one of these
http://excelsiorpress.org/forsale/heidelberg/index.html

an oilier for a moving parts on a press or the like sounds pretty close to me,
man, if we had the net when I was a kid we would have been dangerous,so much info right at the finger tips,
thanks again guys
