I was given a box of these lubricants made by Automatic Electric from a friend who knew I'd want them. I don't know if I'll use them in my old phone restorations or keep them in their original bottles as collectibles. They are probably still mostly good, judging by the appearance of the contents. It won't let me post photos for some reason, so I'll post links instead. Sorry for the inconvenience! https://www.flickr.com/photos/phone-man/8114416204/

The oils and greases were used, quite sparingly, on various points of the strowger switch. Solvents were used in cleaning contacts and wire bank/wafers. All very aromatic!

Interesting. I don't go into this forum too much---old phones are just old phones, to me----but this table of lubricants, to me, is really nice. Thanks for the pic and the info.

JWooten, thanks for the info! I always learn something new on here, it seems! Keep the knowledge flowing.
JWRacedog, glad to oblige. I have over 60 antique telephones, the oldest being a Kellogg "Picture frame front" wood wall phone from the early 1900's up to the early 1980's touch tone phones made by Ma Bell and the independent companies (most in working order).
