I am new to this. What ever it is, its not a repop. I dug it up along with the beat up Gargoyle sign. They were buried under years of leaves and dirt. The old gas station has already fell to the ground. Any ideas.

Many Thanks

Could be off of a pump but looks more like a sediment bowl off of a carburetor or fuel filter ?

Looks more like a sediment bowl that a site glass. A site glass would have a lip around the edge for the retaining nut and gasket to fit against. Brady

This is a glass bowl off from an "AC" Delco Fuel Pump.
