Victor/Johnson Motor Oil Bottles
I have been trying to accessorize my phonographs with volume controls, oil bottles, and reproducer boxes. I have several of the Victor oil bottles in the wooden boxes. But, were there any of these oil bottles produced for the Johnson machines?

Re: Victor/Johnson Motor Oil Bottles
There are at least three variations of the one you show and an early one (see attached).

WOW!! I have never seen an oil bottle like yours. I was just wondering if there were ever oil bottles for the ERJ machines. I have never seen one of those either.

. I have never seen a ERJ oil bottle. However, I'm sure they were offered. Then again, it probably had the VTM name on it anyway.There are "fake or fantasy" wooden needle containers with a ERJ label. These, along with a Berliner version have fooled many collector.
