Found this at a garage sale thought someone that collects old Shopsmith things might like it. The tube has magna corp. on it so it's been around for a long time. If interested send private message.

I think it might be white lithium grease.

The first Accessory Catalog I found it listed in is from July 52. It is not in the previous catalog I have which is DA-3-12-0151. The listing reads as follows

Magna-lube --
SHOPSMITH grease
Magna-Lube is a special grease for
SHOPSMITH drive sleeve, spindle
spline, and quill rack teeth, designed
for Magna by Standard Oil Company
of California. Apply only a small
amount of grease to rack.
12 048 -- Shpg. wt. 4 ozs. . . $ .50

Looking at the tube I have of it, I do not believe it is a white lithium grease but due to it's age it is hard to be sure. Mine is an unlabeled tube in a Magna box like the picture in the catalog listed above. The copyright 1953 catalog picture shows the tube labeled with a Magna box.
