Vintage Eagle Thumb Oiler

Vintage Eagle thumb oiler with flexible spout and embossed “EAGLE MFG CO U.S.A.” cap. This small metal oiler has been cleaned and the damaged end of the spout was shortened and smoothed, leaving it presentable and ready for shop display, collection, or light bench use.

Detailed Description

Vintage Eagle thumb oiler / oil can with flexible metal spout, made in the USA. This is a small pressed-metal oiler with embossed cap lettering and a nice industrial look that works well in a machinist, mechanic, or workshop collection.

This example has been cleaned for sale and presents well overall. The body shows normal age wear, scattered finish loss, and light surface marks consistent with vintage shop use. The spout had damage near the original tip, so the end was shortened and smoothed. That repair should be considered part of the condition and is reflected in the price. Threads were smooth when acquired, and the body did not leak from the bottom.

Approximate size is shown in photos with ruler for reference.

Good candidate for:

• vintage tool collection
• machinist or garage display
• industrial decor
• light oiling duty if desired

Ships carefully packed. Vintage item; expect honest age and use wear.
