A wonderful early 20th century kerosene parlor heater with classic rustic character. This tall cylindrical heater features cast iron legs, riveted sheet metal construction, and a small oval mica viewing window that allowed the user to see the flame while in operation. Pieces like this were commonly used in cabins, small homes, depots, and workshops before modern heating systems became widespread. Standing approximately 24 inches tall, it has a great industrial look with authentic age and patina that makes it equally appealing as a display piece, restoration project, or rustic cabin décor. The heater appears largely complete and still retains its internal burner structure. The draft adjustment knob and carry handle are present, along with the original three cast iron legs. The mica viewing window is still in place. Condition reflects age and use with surface rust, oxidation, and wear consistent with an antique metal stove. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description and show the exact item you will receive. Height: 24 inches. Cylindrical body with three cast iron legs. Metal carry handle on top. This is a great piece of early American heating history with strong rustic and industrial appeal.
