I may be way off but it reminds me of an old tractor fuel pump

I think it is a Fuel Clean Out Bowl. Sediment could be dumped from the removable glass bowl.

Looking closer, it may be a combo pump and clean out bowl.

Right on both counts! It is a fuel pump with a glass sediment bowl.

Shown upside down but you have a old fuel pump and sediment bowl with a thumb screw clean out knob opener on the bottom attached to the wire. SkaBa/Indian Steve was correct.

Thanks guys! What time period what is this used in?

 

[NVNutcase]

We had one similar on a 50s or 60s Compressor

fuel filter - the junk would settle at the bottom of the glass bowl
think you have it upside down
screw dial should be at the bottom
- IMO

Had one in the 70's on a diesel tractor. Sediment and water trap on the fuel line.

Water-seperator/sediment bowl for a tractor. When you see gunk or water in the bottom of the cup - dump it and start over.


I have a very similar one on my 1956 Ford 640. But the 1935 9N -2N - 8N & right on up used a similar one, too. Yours could be from one of dozens of tractor makes.

If you clean it off a bit, you might be able to see the maker's mark on it. Probably industrial. It looks to have a priming lever on it.

What would be the best way to clean an item like this?

 

[JustKeepDigging]

I was able to clean a bit off. I can see "U TYPE" MADE IN ENGLAND" "AC"

It's not really worth anything, unless someone needs some pieces or is real desperate for a core to rebuild. You'd probably have to look at a lot of British engine fuel pumps to find a match and a possible buyer.

For me I'm more curious as to how old it is, so I can get a general idea of how old the area is.

Most companies stopped making that style pump (the type with the glass sediment bowl) by the early 60's, but, some industrial applications still used it after that. I don't remember seeing any after the '70's. As for how early that pump could be.....My guess would be no earlier than the 1940's.
