Original Lehigh Valley..still with us..??
« on: August 24, 2018, 03:48:25 PM »
I’ve been using Tom’s “ Original Lehigh Valley “ patch lube for some time now since it came back on the market. Sent a couple of emails to the contact address on his website and have not heard back, which is unusual as Tom has always provided a prompt response to my earlier inquiries.
Anyone had recent contact with him..??
I hope we’re not losing this stuff again.
Thank you.

I ordered four bottles for stock from him last month.

There have been many posts and articles about this.  Mr. Flintlock is not like the original.  It is similar to the original like tallow is similar to lard.  I have used Mr. Flintlock and found it works okay but it is not the original Lehigh Valley.

Does anyone have the definitive answer to Turtles's question rather than just hearsay?  I checked Track's website and they list it as being on closeout.  So if it is the Original Formula as Track claims, it may have stopped production.

The photo of the bottle in Tracks advertisement has the same barcode as the one on LVL website.  I would say that it IS the original formula.

Then those of you that like it might want to get it before the close out eliminates all of Track's stock, especially if it may have gone out of production.

The stars might be lining up.  He is usually at Dixons but this year he wasn't.  Maybe something not so good is happening.  Sad because it is good stuff.

Looks like someone took your advise Moleeyes...
At 0600 this morning, Track's website reads: "Sold Out".
