Antique space heater, Has Fuel tank with pressure guage and and pump, Is decorated with cast iron trim. It originally had eight grates(One is missing), I inherited it with the house in 1993. I found one of these heaters on You Tube. It was an Coleman #5 Radiant Gasoline fueled space heater circa 1930.




Brings back memories - When I was a little girl, my grandmother would make "toast bread" for us on her gas heaters (not kerasene though); we'd sit around and watch the bread toast, add butter, and a small glass of Pepsi - and feast. And those were the ONLY times we were allowed "soda" for breakfast. It was not allowed at home LOL. Welcome to CW!
I cannot find any names or identifying marks on this heater. could it be from Sears?
Love it -- It WARMS my heart.....but the rest of me it freezing......LOL
