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

  2. m.hart says:

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

  3. Michael Perry says:

    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.

  4. Frank T. says:

    Bottle to take condesation out of……….? air?

  5. Lloyd says:

    Lloyd says this is a glue bottle, used to spred glue in a straight line. It is washed out after use.

    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.

  11. Ronnie says:

    Put between two hoses for soap or insect killer.

  12. Somlikithot64 says:

    I think this is a lighter!

  13. Connie Allen says:

    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?)

  14. Micki says:

    I saw this at the Edison light museum. Thomas Edison used this (I cant remember how he used it) in testing his theories for light.

  15. Lavaba says:

    Its an old dispenser for ether.

    Jim Bowie’s favorite lighter left over from the Alamo…..

    it;s a holding bottle from a sperm bank.

    An article confiscated from the local drug house…….

  21. Luther Russell says:

    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.

  22. Mary says:

    Hmmm…it looks like it was a medical device, looks like it has a meter wheel, maybe used for medicine or a lab, back in the day…

    lol my guess would be a carbide lighter. Miners used carbide powder in a lamp and you added a couple drops of water and you would have acetelene gas.

    Welding torch lighter.
