It was free. I went to the garage sale to purchase other items... Seller said you can have it. I researched, learned.. and will now "run" it! I didn't even know what it was! Kinda cool..

That’s really cool. And free too? What a deal!
 

My dad got me that when I was about 8. I am now 67 and still have lt.
 

Really cool. Always wanted one.
 

That’s really cool. Is it originally a teaching tool of some kind or can you actually use it for work
 

I got one for Christmas. I ran out of those little fire burning bricks, so I found this gel fuel in a squeeze bottle works even better. Just squeeze a little in the fire pan and light It up and let it rip... Oh yeah, don't forget to put water in the boiler. About half full
