Ryterski was one of the few master blenders of lubricants in the world; his expertise was integral to the superior performance of Schaeffer’s products. His ability to formulate new products and maintain quality control enabled Schaeffer to remain at the forefront of specialized lubricant companies throughout the country.

Sounds like a great guy. Still going to the shop in his 90's. I'm sure he was an inspiration to a lot of people at Schaeffer's.

I went to their website and they don't seem bashful with their pricing.
