Has Anyone Seen A Breather Cap Like This Before?
This breather cap looks like it incorporates 'turbine-like' fins to help extract oil mist from the crankcase vapors. Is this an older after-market accessory...or?

That's as good of a guess as any at this point!

I believe Henry tried 4 different oil filler tubes trying to solve the blow by out the oil filler tube. Looks like someone came up with number 5

Re: Has Anyone Seen A Breather Cap Like This Before?
To the best of my memory they were a stocking sku in our stores. I worked at three different locations. The years were 1964 to 1971 Wished I could go back and get some of the parts that we sold then for the prices we sold them for. Even with the pricing allowance for today’s inflationary price differences the stuff we sold was a real bargain price wise.i don’t know if the companies other stores stocked or sold these items but the stores I worked at did .
