Chester,

I go after these on eBay and elsewhere...yours in such nice condition could easly fetch $ 60-80 on eBay if bidding is active.

I think the little "banjo" style is really for fishing rod/reel oiler and probably not originally a gun accessories.

Yours with the "floral" motif might be an oiler for an early sewing machine...just a WAG. Note sure if a fisherman or a gun enthustiast would respond to marketing of a product with the floral pattern...

Here is a little collection of goodies I have gathered over the past year...

My nicest one is in the 11 o'clock position and I had a fellow collector offer me $ 100 for it...but I really like that one so did not let it go.



Close-up of that one :
