Something that's as "old" as the NOS E-Bay item, I wonder how good the rubber is? Probably just as hard and cracked as mine. It's a really cheap quality rubber. If something silicone based was used, they would last. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
Isn't the other part just a basic clear turkey baster? Walmart has them, and if you want a higher quailty, check the chemical lab ware suppliers. Sent from my SM-S902L using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It's a battery hydrometer. Used to check the condition of lead-acid batteries. It reads the specific gravity of the electrolyte in a cell. 1.280 is fully charged when at 70°F. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
