<p>[QUOTE="SammyP, post: 4334444, member: 28746"]I got this from a antique store. It has no markings on it. It has 2 chambers. One chamber contains a yellowish powder I believe to be lycopodium. I sprinkled some of the powder over a lighter and it made quite the fireball. The other chamber I believe had a wick that used alcohol or kerosene. Then I believe a tube was attached to the bottom of the unit and during operation I believe air would be applied to the unit while it was lit to make a hot flame possibly used for glass or some other lab usage. I have several posts online and nobody knows what it is. The construction of it screams that it's old and it looks well made. Any thoughts or theories would be helpful. I have searched everywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 9722]Unknown burner1 by SammyP posted Oct 25, 2021 at 12:59 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 9723]Unknown burner by SammyP posted Oct 25, 2021 at 12:59 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
