This is a rare antique kerosene HEATER. It could also be used to warm-up or cook food on the top burner plate. It’s a CRESCENT No. 40 and dates to the 1890’s. It stands 24 tall and weighs 17 pounds. The flame spreader on the burner has several patent dates with 1892 being the latest. The four footed Base, Center Ring and Chimney Flange, along with the top Grate and Logo escutcheon are heavy Cast Iron and very ornate. The Chimney is sheet steel but heavier than the later Perfections used. The lower 5 of the Chimney is reticulated with open spaces and there’s clear MICA lining behind it that allows light from the Burner to show through and create quite a light show. The brass Fount is unusual and quite large. It has a usable wick in place. The Fount has seen some solder repairs of stress cracks that are common on old brass founts and it doesn’t leak. The Heater has been refinished in high temperature Red and Black paints as shown. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Major Appliances & Bathroom Fixtures\Stoves”.
