My suspicion is that you should stick to oil. I am no metallurgist, nor an engineer, but from a practical
standpoint if oil works why change? Also, it seems that grease might retain/attract dirt etc while oil
would 'weep' away and be replenished over time thus 'cleaning' the surfaces.
Not a very scientific answer... but for the low speeds involved, a nice oiling every now and then oughta
do it.
I admire those old camelbacks. Doubt I will ever own or use one, but the cool factor is off the charts.

I use some of Lucas Oil's products.
They make an oil additive that I used as a lube on the 3-ph Hempel auto copy lathe I had.
It clings well and a quart would last a lifetime. I use it once in a while in the car and truck.
