Description: Up for auction/sale is a beautifully preserved, vintage mechanical precision oil syringe (often referred to as a syringe oiler or precision squirt gun). These high-quality instruments were essential components found in the original, premium toolkits of veteran and classic cars, vintage motorcycles, and early agricultural machinery from the mid-20th century.
This tool was specifically engineered for pinpoint, mess-free lubrication in tight mechanical assembliessuch as distributor shafts, motorcycle chains, leaf springs, and intricate linkageswhere a standard oil can could not reach.

Spring-Loaded Action: Equipped with a robust external tension spring around the shaft, providing a smooth, metered action for suctioning or dispensing oil.
Intact Seal: As seen in photo, the brass plunger retains its critical piston O-ring/seal, which is essential for maintaining proper suction and pressure without fluid blowback.
Removable Curved Nozzle: Includes a threaded, curved applicator nozzle (shown detached in photo and fully assembled to navigate awkward angles with ease.
