 Micro-Bronze Oil Filter, model 100-R.  Advertised during the 1950s, it touted its "scientifically designed" double cone shape made from "sintered 'bronze that breathes'" that claimed to filter out all the dirt "but none of the expensive additives" in the oil.  See the following URL for a Popular Science advertisement from May 1955 for the filters:  https://books.google.com/books?id=xCUDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31&lpg=PA31&dq=Micro-Bronze+Filter+Corp&source=bl&ots=pbD_ejYUjz&sig=lDr-Klnv8rud3qRnfH9284hDsJ0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJisfbrO7KAhVHyj4KHVE4BGkQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=Micro-Bronze%20Filter%20Corp&f=false.  It was supposed to never to wear out or to need replacing and was guaranteed for 99 years.  A gasoline bath would clean it.  A real period piece of automobilia!
