Vintage ATLANTIC-A Kerosene Oil Heater Made in U.S.A. This is a blue stand-alone paraffin kerosene heater, with a cylindrical chimney opening to a circular kerosene tank and flame output. Before the advent of electric battery power, paraffin oil was the most common fuel for lamps and portable lanterns. It is still used to some extent for portable lamps and stoves, most often by campers or in developing countries. Extremely rare piece. Collector's item. Nowadays, it will be appreciated much more for its truly original decorative potential than for its original function. The heater is in fair condition for an authentic find (signs of wear, rust and oxidation points consistent to age). No leaks or fissures in the fuel tank. It measures about 20 55/64" (53 cm) height. - Please see all pictures for further details. - The item will be shipped via registered mail.
