If you went by Makers, you could have a sizeable collection of SMLE and Lee Enfield oil bottles alone. This is a popular activity amongst some people on the Lee-Enfield Forums.
And there were different types for Rifles, Pistols, Sub-Machine guns, Carbines, and Machine Guns.
If you check E-Bay, you will find British, American, Swedish, Russian and a lot of other Countries produced oil bottles, and they are for sale.

I have a crap load of them. Some of them are quite hard to come by, you have to keep your eye out for them or you won't see them. I have some that pre-date WW1 and still have oil in them.
