Always wondered where it came from. Maybe, you did, too. Now we know...

Neatsfoot oil is a yellow oil rendered and purified from the shin bones and feet (but not the hooves) of cattle. "Neat" in the oil's name comes from an old English word for cattle. Neatsfoot oil is used as a conditioning, softening and preservative agent for leather.

Yes, I remember it. My sons used it to oil their baseball gloves.

We used it on saddles and baseball gloves.

Use to use it on saddles, bridles, halters, etc.....they still sell it.

As for the WD40, it really works removing crayon. You would think it would leave the wall greasy looking but it doesn’t.

I've got several pints of it for my softball gloves.......With that being said, most glove manufacturers are advising against the over use of it since it doesn't evaporate and only increases the weight of the glove........Same thing with Vaseline.........

If you're going to use anything on your ball gloves then let it be saddle soap for the occasional cleaning of your glove.........
