My grandmother gave this to me the other day. She said my grandfather bought it at a service station auction years ago. It is a lighter fluid dispenser advertising the Dayton Pum Co.

Very Cool Keith, and the family connection must make it important as well. I've only seen a couple of these in cast iron (or white metal?), like yours is. Most of them were done in brass. I'm not sure why some of each? Maybe the C/I were earlier? I'm sure DB would know.
Thanks for sharing,
Don

Thanks for the comments guys. This will have a special place in my collection. It is cast iron and I think it would still work.
