found this while stripping my chevelle

[Seattle Sam]

Plews is still around, your find looks like an older version of one of their pistol oilers (see attachment)


you can check out their product line at http://www.plews.com

Probably left in the door by a service station or dealer..

well if its an oiler, theres not oil inside. perhaps it didnt contain the caulking used on the majority of the car but maybe a specialty caulk or lubricant of some kind? the outlet hole is small. while inspecting the door jambs of the chevelle i noticed a bead of somthing that could have been caulk about the same size as the outlet hole on the canister. just my observation

I have an oiler that looks just about like that. Used to be my mother in laws. She passed 10 years ago at about 80. I don't know how long she had it.

When you were taking the door apart did it look like the original paper between the door and door panel was still in place?

Someone was right in saying it was not from the assembly line, but it could have been from a spot repair station in the plant. They might have had a bad door and replaced it with another and that pistol grip squirter may have put in some air drying sealer.

original paper was in place. if anyone wants the canister just pay for shipping and its yours. thanks for all the info guys
