Larry,  I just searched Lehman's Internet site for it and came up with no 
hits.  Better call them before you go.

Humm.  Maybe it's time to head to Lehman's Hardware in Kidron?  Too bad 
Johnson's in Orrville closed its doors.  They probably had what I'm looking 
for.

    Neat is an old English word for cattle. Neatsfoot oil is rendered from
the feet and shinbones of cattle. A few years ago, I took some Amish
neighbors to Mount Hope, Ohio for a horse sale. I took the gentleman to a
supply house on the edge of town. He bought a 55 gallon drum of Neatsfoot
oil which he supplied to his neighbors for harness maintenance. Seems like
the cost at the time was about $345.00 for the barrel. Said it would last
them about a year.
