I think that looks like an OLD grease gun or oiler for lubricating a car's moving parts, but it could be from some other machinery too. The bracket on it & screw threads seems to indicate it was attached permanently. Some old Brass Era cars (from the 19-teens) had things like that but I thought they were usually longer or a little larger. You need an expert to answer.

That is an early hydraulic brake fluid tank; probably Chrysler of the twenties.

[UCGHandyman]

Ha! That makes sense. Is the handle a pump, vent, or what please?

(I remembered the Wagner name but forgot exactly what they made, & didn't bother to look it up.)

[jajolee]

you can push the handel down and twist it

then it will stay down and closed a valve

when you twist it back it jumps up and opens a valve on the underside

hope this will helps

This brake reservoir mounted on the fire wall and was connected to the master cylinder. The handle was pushed down to bleed the bakes and locked down when finished.

I have a 1928 Peerless with the same unit mounted on the firewall, their 5th year using hydraulic brakes.
