Let’s play a game, shall we

Tough one! Old….. hmmmm. Looks like an oiler of some sort but yikes? Rrrah… burner on an oil drip stove? Orrrahhh… flobernator valve on an 19 aught eight sod bustin tractor? :):)
Back in the days of cap and ball revolvers this was used to force air through the nipples to push black powder out of the chamber after pulling the ball. The part that you squeeze is made of leather. May have been common at one time but this is the only one I have ever seen.

Excellent! :)
 
I didn't think they had electricity there? LOL

That's not without some truth. Manila is about 900 miles north of Gensan. The Philippines has a population of just over 100 mil- the happiest and friendliest people you'll find anywhere. There are over 7000 islands in the Philippines- imagine maintaining that power grid. I sometimes think it is a miracle the power grid functions at all.

Pic looking north from airport toward metro Manila. Manila has a population exceeding 26,000,000 with the highest population density of any city on earth. Driving in the Philippines is a treat :)

Okey guys.
i will be teasing a bit.
First, item 1

Item 1 is buckle for belt, made for me by Filipino fitter (mecahnic) on a vessel.
It symbolizes modern ship. It is comprised of: propeller and engine piston (which makes ship to propel itself) steering wheel (which enables navigation), and anchor (which always symbolizes safety). On the back side is pin, to lock inside belt holes. Visible on second photo

Item 2.
Not chronograph, not barometer. Do we have some other suggestions? ;)
COOL belt buckle!
