F. B. Rogers Alcohol Lamp 

There is a wick inside the piece that moves up and down

@@unhippy1 ah okay 👍🏼 I can't see the advantage of this over a traditional oil lamp unless it is to use as a heater / stove for boiling water ect

@@gerry5134 they were used as a clean heat source for the same sort of things you would use a Bunsen burner for now.....oil flames leave a soot residue that can contaminate whatever is being heated....alcohol doesn't

@@unhippy1 is the base pressurised by the pump handle on the side (like on an old paraffin/kerosene primus stove?) Just wondering

@@gerry5134 no....the handle only raises and lowers the wick holder.....it has a wick so why would it need to be pressurized?

Hey your right about that; it wouldn't burn very bright as a lamp !

Probably to disinfect old medical equipment

Есть видео, как он его купил.

Yes, I will update video when I return to NY.

Do you believe it was disposable ? 🙂

I'd like to make one.

Thank you for watching this video. I bought it at an antique shop in Somerville, NJ.

Eggsackly.

I have one , I think dental and jewelry makers use them

It looks close to the height of a can of sterno. You could use it in a sterno stove or chafing dish.

@Thomas Williams yes I have one of these and use it like you suggest, works well.

Sorry, this is NFS.
