Unknown part help

I just bought a boat and found this part inside one of the compartments. Looks pretty important so I was wondering what it is for?

MOD EDIT - Added pic.

Well.....a picture of the part would help!

Is there not a link?

Bumble - You need to be aware that Twitter isn't a common photo hosting site and many of us will not click on social media links of any sort.

I took a chance and did it, then added the pic in your first post.

But it seems to have gone again.

I saw it earlier... dunno what the object is though.

I'll guess the device is part of a vintage grease gun for wheel hubs -- maybe with an attachment for bearing buddies?
