I guess I'm safe from his scope, for I have an old can of the stuff in a cupboard. I think it is lubricating oil but I'm pretty sure it is made by Grampa.
Looks like junior might have buffed up his rocking horse with some of Grampa's secret recipe too... Those were the days for interior finishes, wood everywhere, sort of let you know what it felt like to be a termite.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.

I hope he didn't shoot the horse!
