Well it sucks as a lamp but might be a good stove. Yellow flame for light, or in the case of a lantern white, blue flame for a stove. This thing is somewhere in between.
this is the heat source for an F.B. Rogers silverplate coffee urn or hot water dispenser. I know because I have one and found this video on how to use it.

It is an alcohol burner. If you will add a glass it will become a lamp, but low lighting....
Really Beautiful piece of art and engineering .
Perfect and interesting model
Thanks. I've seen these before and wondered. It looks like you could use them in place of a sterno can.
Pěkná věcička
No wick to burn away! It's sort of like a primus stove but uses only alcohol instead of paraffin with alcohol to get it started.
There is a wick inside the piece that moves up and down
@@unhippy1 ah okay 👍🏼 I can't see the advantage of this over a traditional oil lamp unless it is to use as a heater / stove for boiling water ect

@@unhippy1 is the base pressurised by the pump handle on the side (like on an old paraffin/kerosene primus stove?) Just wondering
@@gerry5134 no....the handle only raises and lowers the wick holder.....it has a wick so why would it need to be pressurized?
Nunca tinha visto um desse. Como se chama?

Hey your right about that; it wouldn't burn very bright as a lamp !
Probably to disinfect old medical equipment
I got one of these at an estate sale for $8, but it’s stuck cannot get it to move up and down. Not sure how to fix it.
How to make it
Can you use lamp oil in it?
なんだこれ、面白そう
もう絶版ですかね
It's not a lamp. It's a burner for tests etc.

Do you have a video of how you did it
Есть видео, как он его купил.

,donde se compra?
I found one of those and bought it but never new the name of it.
Can you refill the alcohol that’s inside?
Yes, I will update video when I return to NY.
Do you believe it was disposable ? 🙂
Silent movies in the 21st century...
It's more a stove or heather than a lamp, cause alcohol flame has a poor light
Essa lamparina tem um tubo perfurado com um pavio interno que sobe e deve
from where you buy this
Thank you for watching this video. I bought it at an antique shop in Somerville, NJ.
WTH is it good for?
Eggsackly.
I have one , I think dental and jewelry makers use them
It looks close to the height of a can of sterno. You could use it in a sterno stove or chafing dish.
@Thomas Williams yes I have one of these and use it like you suggest, works well.
huw muche ?
