Grease cup to suit vintage band saw
I am in the process of restoring my Antique Crescent style 32" band saw and there seems to be two grease cups missing.
Open to suggestions where one might find these, if anyone has some in their shed I'm sure we could do a deal
I've posted in the WW forum as well but thought you guys over here might have ideas

Do you know anyone in the UK who could post these for you - these old stock items look very similar to your sample and aren't too expensive?

Is the band saw of US origin? If so I think you probably need 1/4 NPT threaded grease cups (18 TPI). This size was common on old American vehicles, engines and machinery.
Next most likely if of British origin would be the slightly smaller O/D 1/4 BSP (19 TPI) Your photo of the diameter on the calipers looks closer to the NPT size though.
Either size should be readily available from suppliers of vintage vehicle spares or vintage stationary engine parts suppliers.

From my investigations it is a clone of a Crescent brand band saw between 90-100 years old
There is no markings on the casting, any sort of identification must have been stuck to the machine and are now long gone. The bearings that these cups feed are made in England so unless the US were using imported bearings then I can assume it was made in Aus or the UK and would therefore be BSP
