31ford Active Member Registered: Mon Jul 20 2009 Loc: NY	Can someone help identify the type and vintage of this oil d1spensor? I just picked it up today for 80.00. Seems toi be early vintage and is spotless (no oil/residue/stain) inside. It is labeled as 60 gallons, as a wood insert in bottom under tank. Still has paper label inside of unit. Attachments

I have had & seen several, but don't ever recall finding a manufactures name on one. _________________________ Reproduction/Fantasy Cans http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/384/allcansmasterthumbnailc.jpg Round Can Re-lids

The inside is spotless-no stains or residue and the paper label is intact. Either this is unused or mightly clean fluid. Appreciate everyones comments and help identifying.
