12. I suspect "Remington Products" or its predecessor parts of "Remington Rand".

You had some strange concepts being tried prior to WWI and some of those concepts survived till WWII. Wax was big during that time period, and that is the time period where Remington Rand ventured into personal care products.

I do not see it was a product of Remington Firearms, but I can NOT eliminate it completely. Cleaning weapons in the days of corrosive primers was a big item, and that required soaking them to get rid of the residue of the primer (which caused metal to rust badly).

Mostly curiosity as to which descendent of E.I. Remington and Sons actually made this product (or if someone else by the name of Remington made this product).
