    Picked this up the other day for very little. At first glance I thought it a reproduction since it is in exceptional condition. Any idea on maker? Only marking is the number 212 on the brass base. Forgot to measure this but it is not terribly large. Maybe 8"-10" tall. Is the thing at the top an adapter for a different sized burner? What type of burner should this have?

    Thought that a possibility but can't find another like it.

    Also it occurs to me that most, if not all, B&H castings are marked with B&H...

    I'm sure you already know but the flower is a fuchsia. And a very pretty one too!

    212 may just be the casting/part number.

    The two comparables posted by TallCakes have identical fonts. Neither is identified by the seller and have different burners. Seems that most any burner would do. Neither had any shade but a chimney. Does the relatively small size preclude this from having a matching painted shade originally?
