It came off a Ford Flathead but I do not know what the part is for.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rog

I bet a jar went under the black round piece and it was for Marvel Mystery Oil "injecting" for top cylinder lubrication.

I agree with 37 pickup. It's a top oiler missing the jar

1937pickup is right. The glass jar is missing that you would put in Marvel mystery oil or automatic transmission oil in and the idle type adjusting screw was the adjustment as to how much oil you wanted to inject into the running motor, this would lube the valves. If you opened it up too much the motor would smoke a little. These work great today with the nolead gas.
