Hard to tell without a closer look, but I would say it is a lighter, at least some kind of pilot light. On the other hand it does also look like a pinstriping paint tool.
This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don’t think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.
This is a paint bottle for painting pin-stripes on “big fin” cars. The metal handle adjusted the amount of paint. You needed to adjust the paint coming out onto the wheel because not all paint “back then” was the same viscosity. The wheel rolled along the side of the car laying down a nice pin stripe. Did dark blue pinstripes on a baby blue car once. (Does that tell you my age?)
It’s a sediment bowl for small gas engine. gas would pass through it and the sediment would stay in the glass jar. you could see when to clean it out, kind of a fuel filter.

Bottle to take condesation out of……….? air?
this is a glue bottle, used to spred glue in a straight line. It is washed out after use.

I’d guess a lighter of some kind… but more probably used in a laboratory environment rather than as a cigarette lighter…

This may be a small bottle and fixture for airbrushing one color of paint.
