the Ithaca oil was not available for long
Ithaca bought gun oil by the barrel and paid workers to put it in the little cans by hand
I don't expect it took very long for the efficiency/ "motion study" experts of the day to say
Umm , can we talk
I see those cans sell for hundreds, there are two in the nose bleed asking price level on eBay right now
the same can with a different brand name in great condition is very reasonable
