Probably a silly question mate but what does it do? I've never seen one before 😳

It's called an evaporation cooler and in the days before air conditioning in America they used these. The idea is you put a water soaked sponge inside it and as the air passes over it the water evaporates and cools the air like having air con and a cool looking accessory!

That really does look quality. I bet you soon get fed up with being asked what on earth it is though!

Does the window being 1/4 open not let enough cool air in without the cooler being in place, Or am i missing something?

Yes your missing something lol. The tube is not just for pushing air in, it has a spong inside that holds water that evaporates and cools the air a bit like air conditioning and you can even fill it with ice to make it extra cool.
