    An alcohol burner? Edit: I guess alcohol lamp is the correct term.

    Yes, it would be a "fire grenade" if you threw it! I remember setting my desk on fire with alcohol in science class.:) I am sure it is an alcohol lamp though. My husband has a couple for watchmaking work on his bench.

    Maybe it's made from a surplus one?

    It wouldn't surprise me that perhaps some enterprising company may have found more then one use for that glass mold even, marketing alcohol burners and fire grenades.
