Does anyone have a source for some vintage stainless flip top oil fill cups besides e-bay. Looking for some 1/4" drive-in type. Don't like the look of the ones that are plated. Thanks in advance..
 
The gits oilers feel like something out of China. Pretty chincy. They seem to be the only game in town though.
 
Gits, of course, is the traditional and current maker of these oil cups. I believe the caps on older ones were nickel plated. Current ones appear zinc plated and, yes, cheaper made. I also like using older oilers for replacement and find that nice ones do show up on eBay. I buy them when I see them and when the price is right. They eventually get used.
