Thanks

That's a small oil can with the top missing that would be used for oiling small items such as a sewing machine. There are several on ebay similar but not exactly like it. Monty

I agree, and in fact posted a similar ID in another thread yesterday. I thought it might be the oiler from a gun kit.

Anyway, all's well that oils well!
