This came from an estate sale. I got two other items: a virtually worthless Hood's SARSA PARILLA bottle, and a Cohansey lid amber snuff jar (chipped). They were $3 each.
This thing looks like it's all business. It's small; I can wrap my fingers about 80% around it. There's no fancy globe for the flame. Also, the original (?) owner etched his name on it as if it was important or liable to get lost. I found two JH Woodens; one was a fellow being sued because a family member killed a couple in an auto accident in 1951, the other a guy who published a live-stock record in 1882 in Cimmarron, Kansas. Kind of a cowboy journalist.
So, Where did this thing come from? At what price should I start an ebay auction?
