Very old Taft Peirce oil metering system (Bijur predecessor?)

I take it back. Found some info here: https://mycompanies.fandom.com/wiki/Bowen_Manufacturing_Company

Hey, That’s awesome. Thanks for the photo. I may have to recreate that label.

I’ve not been able to find anything on Bowen. I suspect they made the metering valves, too. I even sent an em as I’ll to Bijur Limon to see if they knew anything about them, but nobody that they forwarded it to had ever seen anything like them.

Thanks!

I can't guarantee when I'll be refurbishing my grinder since I just got it yesterday and it's at the bottom of my project pile, but I'll try to at least get that oil reservoir out of there next week to snap a better picture of it for you.

I'm eager to see your restoration thread whenever you decide to document it more.

I’m having some construction done which is consuming a lot of my time at the moment, but I hope to document my progress soon.

I’ve finally finished all the cleaning, paint scraping, and repairs at least. Actually, I still have to replace one oil line, but I should be on the downhill side now.
I was right: Bowen did make the metering valves, too. Nothing to do with Bijur.
