Anyone ever seen one of these before. Can not find anything on the net about them and when they were produced. Any info would be appreciated. It is a Cholden Oil Checker & Flusher

I had a couple of them at one time and they were antifreeze flushers. Looks real neat and had two cylinders. It would take the antifreeze from the car with a long hose heat it up in the first cylinder and a light would go on if I remember. Then you would turn a lever to go into the next cylinder and back in to the car. Basically just warm anti freeze and put back in car. lol. But it did look impressive when you brought out machine and started it. I am thinking late 40s early 50s. But heck I could be wrong.

Some were made to suck oil out of crankcase, filter it & return to engine Cleaned.

Somewhere I have a few ads for this machine, I believe they were from the 50s.
