This was in a box of miscellaneous items that I bought at an auction. It is full, the sticks of grease are 3 1/2 inches long and 5/8 diameter. It’s firm but soft enough that you can easily push a dent into it. It says for 3,4, and 6 inch valves. I can find no information about them ever making valves and would like to find out more about this.

Thanks, google couldn’t find anything, I must have not used the right search terms. I could also not find any references to their valve factory, it was just like they never existed. |

I see a number of eBay entries for "ACF lubricated plug valves" which may indicate the Valve Division operated considerably later than the probable age of the illustrated box of grease (what years did ACF use that 1915-era logo?) |
