I’m curious to know if you know what the item in this photograph is, and how it was used. I do know, but only because my father, Deane Gunderson, told me.
If you prefer to not comment below, but would like to email to tell me your guess, or your in-the-know answer, feel free to do so. mariongundersonart@gmail.com

I’m guessing it’s a sediment bulb from an old tractor. I think it held the sediment from the fuel so it didn’t get in the motor.

Patti: Wow! Assuming you’re right, you’re really knowledgeable about a lot of these things. I was going to guess this was a kerosene headlamp on a really old automobile.
