Treadle Dipstick - Twist or Pull?

Enjoying the first week of my '55 S88. Thanks everyone for helping with my questions. I have tried to pull my brake dipstick. Its not coming out easily, is it a screw-in? I am afraid I am going snap it off if I keep messing with this without knowing.

It screws out. There was a thread on here a couple weeks ago that discussed this.

Obviously the brake fluid had not been checked in some time.

It was just on really tight, but it unscrewed. The fluid was clear, they had replaced the T-Vac and master about 10 years ago from what I can tell from the old receipts. It had 87K miles in 2014 and 90K now.
