I purchased these two oil dispensers and one drain oil cabinet yesterday. I am thinking these may have been used in a dealership service department. Any idea of the vintage and a ballpark on the value? Anyone know if they were available with other brand oils? Anyone have a picture of one restored? Thanks

These things are sort of odd, it looks like if you put air to the bottom fitting the thing would rise up by itself on two long pistons so that you could put a new pale of oil in it. The top air fitting must have pumped the oil. They roll around, and the bases are sheetmetal, not cast. I'm going to hook them up to the compressor next weekend and see what happens.

Man, is that the definition of art deco styling or what! Be interested to hear more on them as you figure them out.
