Daniel Murphy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Jens, Are those the feet or are those fold outs supporting what gets cooked? What exactly is that in the opening with the screw off lid? Any dimensions?Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensF. Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks for your answer. I think I should wait until it has arrived. Then I will make better pics from all sides and can check it for any stamps, try how it works etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensF. Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) What is this??? Edited July 8, 2006 by JensF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) Jens, That is an old time 1800's-early 1900's womans curling iron. It was heated and then the woman wrapped her hair around the round part and closes the other side to press the curl in her hair. And with a lot of luck she would then look like the photo of the woman above. Strange cooker, yes. WW1? I don't think so.Dan Murphy Edited July 8, 2006 by Daniel Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) hahaha Can't stop. Theodor, how did you identify it?A fellow has several of these at his junk shop At first, not seeing the upper part, I also thought - either a trench heater, or medical... but not - he pointed to the scissor-like thing that I had not noticed and told me that grand-ladies have always existed /if you are asking this - no! I do not use such a device... I have an electrical one... / Edited July 8, 2006 by Theodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
