Is it an original, or an aftermarket? I recall seeing aftermarket daubers in the distant past, sold by an outfit called Alisam. Yours doesn't look like the one Alisam sells, so it's probably original. Great score!

Save the inside of your lathe's spindle from marring while removing collets, centers or sleeves

Old Fowler 250 mm / 10 inch height gauge with a missing scribe holder ( I am looking for the right one, suggest me one ) :

Sorry but I have never seen or heard about this device. Is it some kind of reservoir oiler or how do you use it?

 

[Braeden P]

On a lathe tailstock there is a hole on the backside for oil and you put the oil in then put that in

Fermic, can you post the dimensions of the scribe holder post, I might have one:>)

Back in the days when using a dead centre in the tailstock you needed to manage the friction. Many old tailstocks have an extra little hole that is really a reservoir and it is capped with a "dauber" to keep chips out of the lubricant and to apply it to the centre hole.

The lubricant used was typically a white lead paste.

Most daubers are long gone on used lathes......

I had to look it up. Pretty cool they way they take a very simple concept tool and embellish it with style.
