Width of the opening is about 19mm. I only use it for parts like the escape wheel. Cap jewels are hard to find. So I usually put a drop of fixodrop in a small glass bottle (5ml), then hold the cap jewels in tweezers and dunk. Similar with pallet jewels - I hold the pallet with tweezers and dunk just the jewels. I used do it by pushing the pallet in to some pithwood, jewels up, and sit the cap jewels on the pithwood, then using a small syringe, drop some Fixodrop on. But this method is more wasteful of the precious fluid. Using the small bottle I can tip it back. -
this brand name has been around since the 1880's, they made what was called dollar watches, easy to look up on the web, most are not expensive but that does not take away sentimental value, the model number might be hard to find as this style could have been made for several decades....... -
What's the diameter of the opening? Would a large part, such as a setting lever spring from a pocket watch, fit? How do you treat pallet stones? Do you place the entire pallet fork in it? -

As I mention above, the 10ml Moebius Fixodrop bottles have a metal gauze, so no need to spend £££ on a bottle.
