about 15 years ago I was at a gun show in NH and bought a bottle of what what labeled Sperm Whale Oil. The seller had all the documentation that it was pre ban. I think I paid $25 for a pint.

It was used to color meerschaum pipes in the Victorian era, and it works well for that.

Still have it, have never used it on guns. Doesn't smell bad at all, honey colored.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
