A patent disagreement arose in 1938 with Lincoln(another manufacturer.) So it could predate that date. 20's or 30's suggested per web discussion anyway.

I remember them when I was a kid, and that goes back 70+ years.

That style has been around awhile.. This is my Ford Model T tool kit collection so it could date back to the teens or so.

It looks like a common WW2 Jeep Grease Gun.
