Vintage Marvel Inverse Oiler

This is the predecessor of the familiar '50s and '60s Marvel Oilers Judson used to lubricate their Superchargers. It works on the same inverse pressure principal but has the oiler flow control positioned conveniently on the car's dashboard. 
The attractive chrome plated control sits en route between the oil reservoir and the inlet manifold. To regulate the flow of Marvel Oil you just turned the knob at the top and viewed the drip of the oil in the same way as the later models. If you scroll down you will see the Marvel Brochure that came with the kit and the Installation Instructions for the Four and Six Cylinder engines. I'm not sure of the starting date of this style of Marvel Oiler but they were in use in the 1930s until, I think it safe to say the early 1950s.
