Ok cool! ...

Problem. .. I'm about to go sleep for another (my usual) 02:30 wakeup time, Im pretty sure there is something at work I can pix. .. tough enough to guess without being too obscure! ... 12-24hour delay till I will likely have it posted here though.... so please be patient!

You still alive?

Vacuum chamber?

Old railroad lantern?

Old railroad vacuum lantern? lol

Seriously, it does REALLY look like a vacuum chamber, but the rust seems out of place.
Is that solid glass above the 'bubble' area? What's the general size?

Could be a fuel bowl for the carb on an old truck...

Not a fuel thing ... mojo and mura are  closest, but it's not railway stuff. .. not that I know of anyway. ..

Its not 'mine' , it was in a load of stuff we were handling/transporting to auction for a deceased estate.... once I looked it up and got the rough value (not huge but significant) I had to do the honorable thing and leave it in the carton of collectables! ... I know the family and they deserve it! (Awkward moment of pondering about my temptation tho!)

From markings on the thing I'm fairly sure it was a stateside or euro (possibly) usage. .. the voltage isn't likely for Australia?

Scratch stateside... English origin.... used worldwide though I beleive

High voltage insulator?
I've seen lots of those that are glass, but never this particular design.

Is it a light fixture that's missing the bulb?

It is missing a bulb but it's not a light fixture per se.    Not an insulator. ..

Go back to the previous idea elmojo and work from there.. . 

Its.... WWII era.... umm. .. main body is tin plated, though these things in an earlier era would have often been brass body because of their operating environment

Miner's lamp?

Oooh warmer. .. yes a lamp.... tempted to go with that but being a biatch! ...McHale? ! .. anyone... anyone?!

Ww2 lamp for a ship

Oil fired Stern marker light?

Cyamura has it!. . Is a Oldham automatic emergency lantern. . As used by the admiralty and others, I'll mess with the phone and see if I can get full pics up in a min

Sorry if the 'label' pic is crappy. .. you can see the stamped info ok if you tilt your head to the side and squint a bit!  Lmao

Cool find
