I'm looking for an oil product for a little bottle to put inside a new Kitchen mantel clock.
My great-great grandfather had a little open bottle of oil he kept in his old kitchen mantel clock when I was little. He said the light oil fumes would oil the clock parts with out putting oil on the clock itself.
Maybe it was just an old, old tale, but I never forgot it for some reason. I guess I just trusted him without fear.
I picked my retirement present from my company from a catalog 20 years ago. It was a new old looking, expensive kitchen mantel clock. It's starting to run slower and slower so I thought it might need a light oil in a bottle like my great-great grandfather.
Anyone one here ever hear about a little open bottle of light oil placed inside the door of an old wind up clock?
