I have worked on so many sewing machines that the smell of oil has gotten less and less offensive to me. I always give the body of the old machine and oil bath overnight before I start cleaning her up. Its sort of like a spa for sewing machines. Speaking of which I am just starting to collect some of the old cans. My favorite so far is the quart sized Singer oil can, thought I would share a picture of a few of them...

I've never seen the two on the far right before. Cool!
