No, unfortunately I can't find one quite like that and I must admit that
I'm
only speaking from what I've heard others call them. Lathe dogs generally
have a tab that is either bent to go into a slot on a faceplate or
straight
to be driven by a bolt mounted on the faceplate. I've always heard the
kind
with a fork like the one pictured called grinder or grinding dogs but I
don't know why. I can find examples of grinding dogs with 2 forks on them
but I must plead ignorance on the differences.

dispensing whatever was in the vial (looks like a striking wheel from a
Zippo, but not used that way here).

The round head screw on the side is for attaching to something that
would
go through the hole, which does not have a passage into the nozzle.

That fits with the pinstriper theory. The screw would be to clamp an
adjustable edge guide that you can use to follow an existing stripe or a
contour on the body of a car. Sort of like using a rip fence on a
circular
saw. Here's a modern version:
