I just picked this up off a internet auction site, just for shins and grins.

The brand is outers. The slotted tip and jag are plastic.

Does anyone have a guess as to the date these were made?

Do oils or solvents for bad?

The silver tube is anhydrous graphite, is this grease?
 
That kit is from the late 1970s-early 1980s. In the 1960s, Outers cleaning kits came in folded and spot welded metal boxes with a snap-fit lid. Hoppes kits had a hinged top. In the late 1960s, Outers switched to a stamped metal box with a stamped metal tray inside. In the late 1970s, they switched from stamped metal boxes to injection molded plastic boxes with a metal tray inside. In the mid 1980s, they switched to trays molded in as part of the cleaning kit box.
 
Good old GunSlick

What do you mean, Vintage !! .... :mad:
I'm using this same stuff, every day. Now then I could not identify, by your description, anhydrous graphite. Then looking at the tube, you have a tube of Good-Old, Gunslick. This was not part of the original kit but a bonus for you. Yes, it's grease and more. It's the older version of what some folk today, use; Moly Coat. Use this sparingly on contact points like sears. ...... :)

Be Safe !!!
