Does it have a vent hole near the top of the glass? That wick looks nearly new.

It has a hole where the wick is coming through on it. It has a very soft wick, almost cottony. The glass is solid.

I'm not sure it can float, but I imagine I can put it in a bucket and see.

It is an alcohol lamp of the type used by jewelers, assayers. chemists and glassworkers, often in conjunction with a blowpipe.
Do an image search for "alcohol lamp" and you will find many examples.
