Just noticed the differences in the grease labels:
1897 it is .303 Grease, Savage Repeating Arms
1899 it is .303 Grease with the "Repeating" blanked out.
1900 it is .303 Grease with the "Repeating" blanked out.
1902 it is .303 Grease without the "Repeating blanked out.
1903 same tube drawing but now Red Gun Grease.
1905 appears the tube has been redesigned but can't make out the details.

I don't remember seeing any actual Savage brand grease from this time period.

Adding to the oil info:
1897 no oil listed
1899 states THE BEST OIL, 3 oz, $.25 (when I first read it I thought it was "the best oil..." but appears to be a name "The Best Oil...". I don't remember seeing this brand so something else to check into)


Savage...never say "never".
