Would like to get confirmation about what constitutes an authentic Portuguese cleaning rod/oiler from a "repro" unit...
Photo # 1 is what I believe to be a real unit.
Photo # 2 is what I have been told is a repro unit (in my collection).
Main difference is the pattern of "checkering" on the "lid" of the oil can...
Would appreciate your comments and knowledge...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
