What chain oil would anyone recommend for a 50s bike?

Is there a modern equivalent of what would have been used at the time which would be best suited for the
components?

Or is it best just to use something modern.

Thanks

Engine oil is fine but it’s a bit smelly. Castrol R 40 is what you want if you want it to smell like it lives on a vintage race circuit like Goodwood, Brooklands etc.

Any modern bike oil is also fine and a lot less smelly!
