[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9439001, member: 84"]I saw this today & had to have it because I couldn't figure out what it was! My first thought was a Jewish Menorah (but 1 candle holder should be taller than others, right?), then I thought something spanish families could put their statues in, in their front yard & then I thought something for the fireplace? But when I got it home my girlfriend immediately said it was a old gas heater? It does have a tube that looks like gas could be pumped into it - but those little candle like flames wouldn't warm very much, right? BUT, there is a dragonfly in the top of the front of it that makes me think art deco/art nouveau - could this be that old? Maybe a Christmas display piece? Google image didn't show anything similar either. Can anyone tell what this is/was? As always I thank you and I appreciate all the help here!
