CAMERA TURNS OUT TO BE MICRO WHAT?

Found with tesoro detector,every one showed to said it was a mini camera but one smart member said clean it after posting on tesoro forum.Turned out to have small valve seat in front section.It is so small you could carry in pocket with room to go.This thing is built strong,tough,machine work unreal,can tell it got hot!.Well is it a lantern,micro stove,micro torch,or do you light it to take a picture?I know it could not be smelter,did find small musket balls in same area,there is no way it could be that old,colonial period could not have that technology.There is no product name ,number,nothing i see,no writing,seems something built this good you would at least put a name on it!.Thanks for any help on what this is and date it was made.
 
Focus... The dial will tell all...
 
Well it's not a camera with a valve port i would have to say the focus dial is a good old pump plunger,pump it up,light it up and bang take a picture right,everyone says it is just a cheap carnival camera,got it,fuel up,pump up,focus and take picture.there you have it instant flash.

Hocus pocus focus edicox,the dial has a pin hole!,come back to me man what do you think?.Can i take a picture with this thing or not,it would be hard to do with a micro lamp,lantern,stove,or both.tiny pin hole relieves pressure when you turn dial,am i right,i am throwing this thing in the river,i am tired of it.

were getting closer :)
Cool beans bc,i hate to be a pain,i myself thought it to was a camera for sure until someone on tesoro forum said it reminded him of a hurricane lamp.Thanks,it is amazing how close it looks to your camera,do you think it is a burner devise to.I have found early military artifacts in same area,that would be neat if a soldier carried this thing!.Thanks for showing your lighters,someone did suggest it looked like a lighter.
