That's it, puts MMO in the manifold to be sucked into the cylinders and provide a little light lube on its way into the cylinders.

I believe it was a period aftermarket thing, someone correct me if they ever came factory.

You can still buy them new, and they still look period correct:cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Marvel-Oiler-Rep ... s&hash=item1e5fc8ac22#ht_500wt_1182


I don't know how much good they really do, but i always think glass jars for washer fluid etc in older cars look good, so i got a kit for my 50, if just for looks if nothing else.


Edit: Damn, i see HH56 beat me to the pic of exactly this same thing. I still think the label and the design of the unit still looks vintage, if not pre 50's but still 50's-60's.
