      Maybe for oiling old engines with exposed rockers.

      Upper cylinder oil was added to the fuel to protect all upper engine parts such as valve seats, faces & stems, as well as the upper piston rings & cylinder wall.
      I would think the sight glass on the unit is to help determine how much you are adding to the tank.
      Are there graduation marks on the plunger barrel?

      I will look and reply back do you think this may hold a value

      I'm not sure & I had to do some research just to find that info.
      One way to date it would be from the time period that Mobil sold upper cylinder lube.
