Curt,

I have a number of IHC carts and some have screw greasers and some do not.  
My 1914 "original" Famous does not have greasers but has the zig-zag pattern.  
My 6-M   carts both have zig-zig pattern with screw greasers. Both of these 
engines are 1925. I have one "not original"  6 Famous cart with knob type wheels 
and no greasers.  So, it looks like IHC made a change sometime for the grease 
cups, but not sure when.
