Don't some folks use Almond Oil? Why I don't know, but I've seen it on several shows/interviews where folks are preserving and original paint job.

They always seem to be Black paint. Why I wonder???

I did not realize that the m/cs with the "X" in the logo were HENDERSONS. I have many photos of them. I'll look to see if I have any 4 cyls.

The X was for the Excelsior, known as the Super X,. It was carried over the the Hendersons when Excelsior (Schwinn) purchased Henderson in 1917.

I read that almond oil is non drying as opposed to linseed oil or walnut oil which have the property of "forming a solid, elastic surface when exposed to air in thin layers" so i guess it you don't want to "oil" it often you would use something like almond oil.

Sound good?
