UCGHandyman Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) 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.

HarryJ Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 That is an early hydraulic brake fluid tank; probably Chrysler of the twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCGHandyman Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
