My mom discovered two of these and gave them to me. Yay! Anyway,
one has some extremely old oil inside that's turned pretty much into
tar. What's the recommended way to get that crap out?
It also looks like it had a gasket inside of a lip around the base of
the screw-in spout. What's an acceptable substitute for that? Cereal
box?


Acetone or laquer thinner works well on the congealed oil.
