Hello all, today for your perusal we have 2 items, 1 is a lipstick made by Richard Hudnut, did the google thing and found out lots of info, just not any thing firm as to when it was made, my guess is around the 20's or 30's but if you all can tell better please let me know. The second doohickey is more of a mystery, to me it looks like maybe some kind of float, it is in 2 pieces but looks like it was soldered together, also there is a small spot on one end that looks like some solder work, there is also a tiny hole on that end, it is about 3 1/2'' long and about 1 3/8 dia. and I think is made of brass, bronze or copper, no magnetism. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated, and thank you for reading.

Thanks for the info guys, that float idea is what I was thinking, will take it over to a car guy I know. And yes I knew it was a lipstick, the idea was to find the age of it! HH! and thanks for the input here.

The float could be from a fuel gauge sending unit that would have been located inside the fuel tank.
