Thanks to everyone. Our guess was an oiler. We thought it looked
like it would pump, but of course couldn't get hold of it to tell. I
plan to send word to the museum of what it is so they will know next
time someone asks.

Later,
Ed

For sure it's a pump oiler. I have/had one just like it. I hope I didn't
toss it, IIRC it leaked and I haven't seen it lately. Now I'll go nuts
looking for it 'cuz it's a valuable museum piece.

Looks like an oiler to me.

Guys,

At the Wright Brother's shop in Dayton, this tool was in a display
case. No one there knew what it was. I'll bet one of you guys will
know....
