Whoa! new format! at least to me.

Last weekend while rummaging in my parents' store room I found an old Aeroshell "Oil W" can. It has a couple of stylized swept wing airplanes on the label and the company address is 'New York, 20, N.Y.' making it at least early 60's and pre zip code era. Yeah I'm old enough to remember when zip codes appeared.
What is "oil W"? It advertises as being great stuff for a/c piston engines.

W is Aeroshell's ashless dispersant oil. No "W" is mineral oil normally used for break in.
