A friend of mine gave me two beakers like this, but i have no ideia for what this can be usefull. Do you know?
I thought it may be used to extract gas from a reaction, however would not need a side arm for it..

maybe its so you can flood your reaction with argon or some sort of heavy gas. Might be useful if your product is hard to scrape out of a flask.

Looks like it might be for feeding gas into - avoids the need to have a stand holding the tube up.

Looks like a Eureka Can to me, just one made of glass not metal as they are usually made of.

It looks like it might be good for decanting supernatant fluid for a semi-continuous process. I don't know if that's what it was made for, though.

Looks like something used to measure the density of an irregular object. Fill the beaker with water, add the object and collect the overflow into a
graduated cylinder with that spout.
