What is that orange canister mounted on the engine tin? How much are they worth.

Do they work well and can you re-use them?

They work great if you like nostalgia and 50's technology.

It is a bypass (as opposed to full-flow) oil filter. Good nostalgia, poor filtration. There is some debate that they may actually starve the bearings of oil, but I don't know for a fact. You can drop an appropriately sized ball-bearing in the line and disable its function, keep it for looks.
