French Oiler?

[Flying10uk]

I wondered if anyone knew anything about this oiler with apparently the French for Oil-"HUILE" written on each side, please? Thanks for any information.

It's French, it's an oiler. Several types of these of which the nicest has the word impressed into the metal and a brass top. These were used until they replaced them with plastic ones.
