Alemite Grease gun for Model A?
 

I am gradually building a basic tool kit for my A. Have small wrenches and adjustable crescent, and spark plug / head bolt wrench. A neighbor gave me an Alemite grease gun made by Stewart - Warner (#6556). I would like to add an original gun to the tools, but the number refers me to Jeep when I do internet searches. Does anyone have the Alemite # for Model A's? Thanks for any input. BW

Maybe several #'s apply to the Alemite grease guns over the years that Model A kits were offered - I am sure modifications were applied. Just looking for a reference. Can't trust ebay to lead me to the correct gun for 1928-1929 cars. I have seen some beautiful representations of a "Model A Tool" kit that were not correct. BW

Just to make it more interesting,there were also grease guns for Model A made in Canada. Both look same [ fine knurling on caps] but one is marked 'Stewart Warner Alemite Corp. Canada', the other has 'Alemite Products Company, Canada Ltd.' Both have patent dates[ 1920-21].
Model A style 'gun issued from 1928-1934. After that, only some deluxe Ford V8's had them in toolkit. This is the one with model no. 6550 & is lighter & fatter than 'A' one. On ebay they are always touted as 'Model A'. And,yes these also had Canadian versions

The original Ford Model A grease guns in Germany have the words "Deutsche TECALEMIT D.R.R" (D.R.P. = Deutsches Reich Patent, 1877 to 1945) written above the Ford script on the barrel. There are no other markings or numbers.

Here is the best I could do for a photo of what it looks like:

Other than that, the German grease gun appears to be the same as the US versions.

Fordially,

Thats an interesting photo of German greasegun. There was no Ford script on US/Canadian ones. Were there other German made tool items ? I have read Ford Koln had high local content then [ German chassis etc.].I believe the English Model A's also had local supplied tool items.
Thanks
