Well, survived the hay field and the unload/stacking in the barn. These days, it's the barn work that saps a man. Course, the last couple years it seems like those 60 lb. bales weigh 100 lbs.. And good thing it was only a 100 of em.
Now back to the "no longer mystery item". It's amazing what a minutes sleuthing can turn up. On the side it clearly has a name and the bottom has the manufacture. Lubrigun, made by Lincoln Engineering Co., St. Louis, MO.
It is a grease gun, the plunger handle is missing if it should have one. Found pics with and without.
