Allow me a bit of leeway if I have posted this previously. I am at a point in life where I sometimes forget what I did the previous day.
I have had these primer cups for several years. I had no application for the cups but I bought them for the simple reason I thought them quite stylish. A few weeks ago I asked Dick Day what he knew about the Palmer HH as somebody had called me that he had one for sale. Dick sent me a couple of black and white photos of an HH and lo and behold, there were my two primer cups. Dick said Palmer used these on many of their engines. Although other marine engine manufacturers probably used them as well, at least I can now definitively connect them to at least one specific engine.

Now you'll have to buy the engine to go with them! |

Dick tells me the HH goes back to the early 30's. |

Looking at the picture of the HH, there is what looks like an oil cooler or an oilheater wrapped around the water pipe depending on what the water flow is..
I suspect it's an oil cooler.
