Oil 'can'

[Roger]

What era do thing this glass and brass oil 'can' (if that's what it's called!) belongs to? 1930s?

G'day Roger,
I've seen those "things" before, probably 1930s give or take a decade. Will the lid screw off ? if so whats the finish on the lip like ? (ie= ground or not).
Odd colour of glass that one [] .

Morning Roger, It looks more like a plant mister to me.... I believe they still make these, But I agree with Irish I cant say I have seen one in that color. I can just see it being used by a fair maiden in her english garden (misting the roses) at the turn of the century.[] Have a great day..... Taz

I agree with Taz, a plant mister. Definitely a unique use bottle. Neat item!

Thank you gentleman - of course it is a plant mister. Green glass too. It's not mine yet!

I have to agree with all of you gentlemen,it certainly looks to me like a plant mister as I also have one.Mine is amber glass with floral decor.Women have an eye for these pieces.

Plant Mister? Come on MISTERS, and you too Cheryl, where's your imagination? That's a THROAT LUBRICATOR for opera singers![8D]
