Used Swiss WWI Gun Cleaning Kit - 101260, at Sportsman's Guide
Sorry. I got the oilers on a package of stuff. I did not know what the manufacturer was. But do now. Thanks to qqac.I asked in his thread on that gun, he responded with a like to my question, but no answer.
Real close but no cigar. there are circular areas on both sides of Derr's pic and not on the Swiss one.

I cant say its military or not.
Greg is pro photographer. He had all kinda of cool props.
I will bet a donut the oiler fits the time period.
Now if anyone can ID oilers, I occasionally give this one a rub waiting for a mini genie

Shit my grandfather has one of those on a shelf in his basement! Now I know what it was!!! Was the exact same thing.
I KNOW that these were military oilers as I have found them among many an old soldiers materials and have had a number of these, which I passed along to people that needed a quality oiler.
I remain uninformed as to exactly where these were supplied. Winchester-Remington 1905-1907 is an interesting date. UMC-Remington was a few years later and these multiple companies went through a variety of company changes.
I gratefully appreciate the responses and remain woefully in lack of remembrances as to exactly to what they were issued.
