Hi there. My wife found this in the woods today. Eastern NC. Is this the internal/tank part of a an old visi-gauge type gas pump? thanks for any info, brand, value etc. pretty cool looking. thanks again. Gary

Looks electrical to me. I agree that it's probably a huge vacuum tube that is missing the connectors on the bottom.

Looks more like a vacuum tube...and if so, never seen one that big!
