Made a couple of brass oil bottles for the pouch. One like a little pistol barrel, the other engraved.

Slick in all respects :thumbsup:
Dave: They are stunningly elegant, the engraving perfect. Can you tell us more about the construction process?

Thanks for the comments. They are obviously not period correct, but they are handy.
Bill, the bottles and tops are machined from brass bar. The bottle is drilled through and a bottom closure is soldered in place.
Here are three matching bottles I recently made for a father and his two sons:
And two with octagonal bodies:

Nice oil bottles!
FWIW, the flattened tip shown in the last image will pick up the greatest amount of oil. I was a student at St Paul College in watchmaking/micromachining in the 1990's, and learned to use these dip type oilers.
The greatest amount of oil the tip will collect is when it is quickly withdrawn from the pool of oil. Withdrawing slowly results in less oil adhering to the tip. And the smaller the tip, the less it will pickup. The "arrowhead" version will pickup the most. A needle point will pick up almost nothing.
These little oilers are great for getting lubricant on tumblers, flys, frizzen rollers. If too much, cold weather can really slow things down. These oilers can make just the right amount.

Increadible!! Do you ever sale them? And if so, what would you charge for a fairly simple one?
