For information's sake, I have two tiny "oil cans" that belonged to my
grandfather, who probably purchased them shortly after WWI when he returned
from overseas and was able to buy tools again. They are about half the size
of a Zippo lighter, beautifully made and hold less than an oz of fluid. One
has a top about two inches long and tapered to a fine point which releases
one drop (a cap with a needle keeps it clean) and the other with a thin tube
about six inches long and flexible to some degree.  The longer one hasn't
survived in quite as good condition as the other, but both work quite well
and the long tube is ideal for verticals.  I keep Protek CPL in the short
one and fill the longer one as needed.

Come up to Canada! Here in the foothills of the Rockies it's a sweltering
72F  right now and it might even hit 75 today!  B-})
