Re: Rangoon oil, used in Victorian era, just how good was it?

Courtesy Google Scholar. Can't copy and paste it for some reason, but the formula is here.

If you must have the book, it is "Petroleum and its products: an account of the history, origin, composition ...
By A. Norman TATE" Copyright of 1863. Free to read on Google at the moment, but you might want to download a copy inn case they decide to take it off.

WOuldn't be too easy to distill the various hydrocarbon components with asphalt, though, if you fancy home-brewing it.

Good hunting, gentlemen!

PS This company in the UK sells Rangoon Oil, though I am not sure if they ship to the US. You might want to email them if you prefer using it for your guns to later products.
