[GreenKeys] Oiler

I missed the little oiler I had. When I broke it out of its hiding 
place, it cracked right away. It was a plastic tube about 1/2" by maybe 
3" long with a nice metal nozzle at the end.  A gentle squeeze in the 
middle got you a drop of oil right where you needed it.  Sorry I didn't 
google search for a replacement before trashing it.  Now I don't recall 
who made it.

Anyhow I have since found a use for all those eye drop bottles left over 
after cataract surgery.  Darn if you can't wiggle the nozzle out of the 
bottle and fill it with oil suitable for Teletype machines.  I don't 
know how well the plastic will hold up, it looks like they same stuff 
they use to package motor oil.  No worried if they deteriorate over 
time, I'll have a lifetime supply since I also use drops for Glaucoma.
