Distilled water dispenser??
A friend from church is cleaning out her late brother's house and found an item that someone told her was a distilled water dispenser for Model T or A era cars. It is a metal frame with a gallon jug. Does anyone recognize this item and if so what should I tell it is worth. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks, Supergnat |

Maybe for batteries?

I can't see the end with the cap in your photo. I have one and was told it was for oil lamp fonts. Mine has a spring loaded lever sticking out of the cap. I would think this mechanism would have rusted away if water had been in the bottle.

Thanks for all the replies. I gave the item back to the owner so she can let the antique dealer sell it for her. I doubt anyone in our club would buy it. One sold on Ebay recently but it had markings to identify its use. Perhaps these dispensers had multiple uses.

It is absolutely for refilling batteries. There is a small ring on the side to clamp the fill tube up so it does not leak and also a hook to hold a hydrometer.
