Brake pin lube ???

I'm calling on the collective brain here to help me identify the lube in the attached pics.

It's definitely not Vaseline and it's too dark and has a unique odor unlike silicone grease. So I was thinking it's brake pin lube. But before I use it, I would like to be more sure that it is actually brake pin lube.

Does anyone recognize the contents and container? Does brake pin grease have a faint unique odor? What are the identifying characteristics of brake pin lube?

Thanks!

Ha, ha, ha, I wouldn't have a clue as to what that looks like.

I think the most important characteristics of brake pin grease are its resistance to high temperatures and ability to stay put.

Perhaps I'll but a dab in a spoon and heat it with a propane torch and observe for any changes in viscosity and stay-putness.

Size, shape, quantity...looks like soldering iron flux.
