See explanation below...

Well, I'm certainly not familiar with this term in this context, but I would hazard a guess that it must be referring to the kind of fat 'sticks' (a bit like kids' crayons) that wrtie with a greasy mark which can be rubbed off on non-absorbent surfaces (metal/plastic drums, etc.) --- rather like a lipstick!
It's sort of the larger equivalent of the 'chinagraph' pencil, which is also sometimes referred to as a 'grease pencil' (to avoid using the proprietary name), and can write on glass, china, etc.

agree conejo : That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it! When I was a teenager I worked as a hostess in a restaurant, and we used these "grease pens" or "grease markers." http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=s...

Thanks, conejo! And thanks for the ref -- no time to follow it up myself, but I'm sure it will help Asker.
