Help Me Out Here

 I saw this cast iron item recently, and no matter how much I study the photos, I can't figure out what it is.  If you can figure it out, please leave a comment with the answer; or at least your best guess.


I am going to cheat and do a search for the Taylor and Boggis Foundry in Cleveland.


UPDATE!  Drang was right on top of this one.  This item is the base and fuel tank for a kerosene camp stove.  Some very good photos of a restored stove are Right Here, along with a wishful price.

    That didn't take long! Yep, It's the fuel tank and base for a camp stove. I will add a link in the post so everyone can have a look.

    Dear Anonymous: I think these were used for heating sad-irons more than camping out.
