Old Homelite Oil 6-Pack

[sawnami]

Was wondering if anyone had an idea about what vintage this 6-pack of Homelite oil is. There is no Zip Code in the address so I assume that it may be 1963 or earlier?

It is much more recent as it shows Homelite to be a division of Textron.

Textron bought Homelite back in the '60s. IIRC, my C-5's and XL-12's have "Textron" on the MN/SN tags. Those are mid-60s saws.

I have 2 6 packs myself. Not sure havent found the year or anything?
I had some pictures somewhere but I lost them :frown:

It appears I stand corrected. The Textron website indicates the acquisition of Homelite took place in the early 1950's.

My recollection is that Textron moved the Port Chester operation to Charlotte in the late '70s. So the oil would predate that.

I think those may be late 50's, early 60's.

Never collected the chain saw variety, but I have a bunch of STP ones from when Studebaker owned them.
