Spiral Type Grease Nipples (zerks)

Have been rebuilding Grandpa's 1926 Star Touring M. It has "as a majority" these beautiful big round grease nipples with a spiral machining that require a special grease gun tip with a spiral locking mecanism. I have my Grandpa's grease gun but am missing about 8 nipples, 4-45 degree
& 4 - 90 degree connectors. I would very much appreciate knowing where to acquire such grease "zerks". They add a lot to the vehicle.

Hello Guy, The lube fittings are called Almenite, spelling may not be correct, fittings. I have some used ones, but, new ones should be available some where. Some of my family live in the Peace River country. The family name is Hart, they had farms up there.
