I finally got around to asking what it is and the owner doesn’t know. He said nobody he asked knew either. So now it’s bugging me.
My husband and I knocked around a few theories but we couldn’t find anything on the net that looks like it.
We did find a wick inside of it…
Anybody have any ideas? So far we have discarded smoker, burner, old bug sprayer, part of a whiskey still and even hookah lol.
Best guess is an Antique vintage copper hand held blow puffing spray misting pot
How did you even find that?! I searched for hours!
Although I do wonder if the seller is making that up because I can’t figure out how that would work, or why.
Yea, I kinda wondered too as that was the only source I could find.
If you go back to that store, see if any engraving/lettering on the bottom.
Simple trick for finding sources of images/photos: Go to Google and upload/drag 'n drop your image. It will also transcribe any text from the image so you can copy/search on.
