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

1950s chain?
If it's been good for 70 years then your choice of oil is unlikely to do much harm.
I use a Castrol ATF applied with a (suitably vintage) Valvespout oiler on my 1952 Phillips - having said that, the chain is relatively new, replaced when I restored it some years ago.
