I took original grips off two 62 Travelers this morning. Never removed in 60 years. Lift the ends with small flat blade screwdriver, shoot in windex and turn with some pressure. Slipped right off.
The immersion in boiling (almost) water has never failed for me. TOC 20th century grips were sometimes glued down with shellac- give the heat time to work, or heat up the bars with a heat gun to loosen that up.
Rubbing alcohol works for me. And it doesn't make a mess if I spill it. Though 50-70 year old grips are the oldest I've played with. Another plus is it kills germs. Win/win.
I have had reasonably good luck with the tiny flatblade screwdriver.....put oil or soapy water on it and slowly work it in there as far as You can.......The straw on a can of WD-40 will then fit down in there and pump it full of penetrating oil......I have also used just plain old Windex....Good Luck on Your next set!!!
