galvanized funnel thing

[JohnN]

I don't have a clue, but for some reason I get a chicken feeling. Not sure what you would use it for, but just sayin'.

Looking at it again, I'm thinking it held water. The corrosion present on the bottom petcock and the rustiness on the galvanized sheet iron doesn't seem to jive with it having held oil, unless it was stored upright for years in a dirty and damp environment (dirt floor of barn or something). I'm going with a water-dropper for a big ole-fashioned grinding wheel; that's my final answer. []

I think Plumby is the closest, Only problem I see is the loop thing on the side near the cone end seems it should be higher towards the big end, so the thingy would hang better, at least I assume that loop thing is to hang it by.........

You beat me to it. I was looking at that too and think the narrow part is the top. I still have no idea what it is though.

Perhaps for a kerosene stove, duel feed lines to feed two burners? The cap looks like some I have seen on old kerosene cans.

2 questions. Is there anyting inside such as baffels, screen, filters, etc.? Are the pet cocks threaded or in any way made to attach to something else?

 

[digger dun]

we have not been able to get the screw top off, so we cant see inside. there is no heat marks from internal soldering visible from the outside, if that's any help. neither petcocks are threaded, and don't even really have a nipple where a hose could be attached.

Part of a hit and miss?

FROM EBAY
Yes, different but there may have been thousands of patents for different applications. MikeO would know.

that is something...
