Vintage Alemite Model 6556 Hydraulic Grease Gun – Industrial Steel Tool

Description : A vintage Alemite hydraulic grease gun, Model 6556, designed for manual lubrication of machinery and automotive components. This push-style grease gun features a tapered steel body with a T-handle plunger, allowing for controlled pressure application rather than rapid pumping. The original stamped markings identify it as manufactured by Stewart-Warner Corporation, Alemite Division, in Chicago, USA. The surface shows consistent wear, oxidation, and residue from long-term use, giving it an authentic industrial patina while remaining structurally sound. Ideal for collectors, restoration projects, or continued functional use in workshop settings.
