Check out this late 1800’s Sad Iron heating stove. It was made by the Union Stove Company in Gardner, Mass., sometime just before the turn of the century.
People would fill the basin with kerosene and use it to heat the bottom of a sad iron. A sad iron is a flatiron that is pointed at both ends. In the 1880s, of course, these irons didn’t self heat, so a portable stove was made to do the job.
The very fragile mica windows are still intact, the wick adjustable, cork in place, in excellent condition!
