1920s Wakefield Castrolease Automotive Grease Gun 

A useful, and collectible, 1920s Wakefield Castrolease Automotive Grease Gun. Measuring ~ 6 1/4", it is made from solid brass and smells wonderfully of old garage workshops and grease! 

Markings on the side

The Wakefield Castrolease Gun. Fill only with Wakefield Castrolease Grease.

Pat No. 311571

The Patent dates to 5/06/1928 and was filed by Wakefield & Co. Ltd. The patent was for a single acting suction valveless piston pump.

Approximate Dimensions:

• Height: 16cm (6 1/4")
• Diameter of reservoir: 2 cm

In pretty good vintage condition, with scuffs and surface scratches commensurate with age and use. The internals are covered in old grease. I haven’t polished the outside, as I like to keep the patina.

Both the top and bottom of the grease gun screw on to the main barrel to allow for ease of cleaning.

A handy little object for those small greasing jobs! Wonderful addition to a collection of vintage tools.
