Once upon a time, Stoeger sold Stogerol. I wonder if it was just relabelled BALLISTOL, the claims were similar.
But what claims! In 1939, Stoegerol would clean your gun barrel and stock, and the leather holster, too. It had medicinal properties, too:
"Stoegerol kills pus germs and bacteria in wounds in man and beast and sterilizes them until medical assistance can be procured. Effective in running sores, chafing and soreness after horseback riding, perspiring and sore feet, burns, frostbite, prickleheat, eczema, rheumatism, gout, colds in the head, coughs (Rub nose, throat, and chest or other affected parts with Stoegerol.) If used before hiking and hunting tramps, prevents soreness and chafing. Stoegerol relieves piles, eczema, drin and moist, destroys fleas, body lice, mange, crabs, scabies and all other vermin on man or beast."

"Stoegerol is indispensable as a rust preventer of surgical instruments."



P.S.

I've been using BALLISTOL on most EVERYTHING, wood and leather as well, they say you can even drink it, non toxic, bah! I 've got no intention of trying it.
