A. If you are patient, someone in your city will sell a bottle with marketplace with content inside. I managed to obtain 2 liters from different bottles filtered. Then, like you are making coffee, wash the insides withacetone

then soap and water, clear coat the label and clean the cap. With a brass machine find a leak proof material from another cap. And voala and you may find oil that was made between 1885 And 1940.
I used many for mostly guitars.

Q. I am also trying to find where to get a supply of Hawes lemon oil for wood treatment. I have a collection of antique wood clocks that desperately need oiling and the best product I have used in the past is Hawes. If anyone knows where to find this product, either in Canada or the U.S. please let me know. Much appreciated, Darrell.

A. Hi, folks. I think you'll discover that "Hawes" doesn't exist anymore, that it's become "Old English" lemon oil, at least in the USA.

A. Re Hawes Oil and Hawes Scratch Cover. These Products were distributed through Boyle - Midway, On a search I did, I found the cleaning product line shut down in mid 1987. I hope this answers your question, it was a great product. I am finally throwing out my last bottle at time of this posting.
Thank You

A. I lived in Toronto and used Hawes furniture polish since the 1980s, but moved to Texas. I couldn't find it in the U.S., so had a Canadian friend send it to me. In the 1990s, he told it wasn't available anymore and that Old English was the replacement. You can get that in Canada and the U-S, but I'm not sure if it's the same, under a different name.

A. If you are looking for Lemon Oil furniture polish, "Old English Lemon Oil" [affil links] is your solution. The product is available both in Canada and the USA.

A. Well I just bought Hawes Lemon Oil at Home Depot in Canada. The scratch cover for dark woods by the same company is not available in Canada or at least I cannot find it. It is available at Walmart in the US.

Thanks Isabel.
"Old English" brand name is owned by Reckitt Benckiser; I don't know who owns the Hawes trade name. I think C Reynolds from Dallas made an important implication: "meatball whoring", selling/licensing rights to well-known trade name "meatballs" (logos) is such a commonplace that there's probably not much reason to believe that another brand isn't just as good as an old brand you remember; it might even be closer in formulation to the original.
