Pics would be great, also is there a true purpose for a crank case breather except for show?

It doesn't go anywhere. It's meant for old cars that don't have a PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. Why mess with the PCV system? It doesn't affect horsepower, keeps the inside of the engine (valve covers) a bit cleaner, and helps the environment.
