Snagged this at the Albany OR swap back in Nov for $5. A little different from the typical ones you see. I liked the needle attachment.
Only thing I can't figure out is the band around it's waist with a thumb screw. It's much tighter than a can hanger rack would be. Any thoughts?

Nope, no clue, but I like it!
-
Very nice oil can but I also have no clue and have never seen that band on one.
-
When you remove the needle, does the cap on the thumbscrew go in its place as a cap? Have 5 pump oilers similar, and 40 oil cans or so and never seen this variant. Must of been something special for industry, aircraft?
-
At first glance ,it appears to be a pressurized mister. Does the removal of the cap reveal a Schrader or Presta valve?
What do you see inside that band area?
Could it be a metering valve for the spout output?

I zoomed in on the pic, seems it has a part number. 600. Those seem to be textile oilers. Other Textile oilers seem to be from the 600 series.

Good find OnS. Greyson should loosen it and slide it 180 degrees around the can until it lines up with the trigger. It appears to be an adjustable stop to limit amount of oil being dispensed.
-
Well that was quick. Makes perfect sense to be able to apply a set amount repeatedly. Not an option I've seen before.

Elroy restored this vintage military oil can a few year back

It stuck to pops fingers when the Navy decommissioned his destroyer in 1952 after nearly getting sunk.

This can was a leaking a pig until Elroy re-soldered all the seams and repainted it. It's a nice piece now. Pops has it on his desk. Gives Elroy a smile.

I'm sure pops appreciated the effort Elroy -- you're a good son!

Pop is 95. We appreciate each other more each day.

Incredibly blessed and I am sure that you know it. My pop is 91 and will be 92 in March if he makes it. My pop is in very tough shape now and sadly, I think for him passing away at this point would be a blessing.
-
Oh that is cool! And I think OnS nailed it
Elroy's can is sweet also
