Yes I do. The guy that made it has passed on many years ago. About 15 years ago I helped a friend in FL do a qualitative analysis on the lube. It is a good hot temperature lube, but not so much below 50 degrees outside. Plus it was designed only for pistol cartridges. There were several batches of it remade, but haven't heard about any commercial interests. HTH

In the early 90’s, my dad, brother and I went to the Expo Mart gun show in Monroeville Pa. all the time.
An older gentleman sold 50/50 alox -beeswax lube he made in sticks with the exact same cartoon on the wrapper. His wrapper was white paper.
He worked for PPG plate glass division.
He also sold pure tin for $3.00 lb that I’d trade for with Lino that I had.
I paid .35 per lb and would trade him 8lbs or so for 1 of tin.
His name was Zig Grosz.
He’s long gone.
I thought somewhere I had a stick but can’t find it.
Thanks for the memory jog.
