John Lindell, of Richardson ACT, has contacted the club to offer this grease dispensing cap to a club member who can use it.
John doesn’t know what it is from. Distributor shaft greaser? Water pump? 1920s? Custom job?
Suggestions from members so far:
“Seen one like it on Holden 48/215 distributor”: – Chris Clark.
“likely to be for car, eg. water pump, as stationary engines rarely travel thousands of miles except by trailer. Apart from the inscription, much the same as for a lot of stationary engines which use greased bearings.” :- Bob Garrett.
“My 1924 dodge has one of these grease cups on the shaft for the fanbelt pully” : – Eddy Grima.
[UPDATE – the greaser has found a grateful new owner. Thanks John]
