Was cleaning out a very old house yesterday and I decided to keep this thing rather than trashing it. Anyone know anything about it? Looks like a burner but then has the glass thing... Is it for gas? Hell if I know.

There is a 99.9% it isn't worth anything. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like it was probably used in a chemistry class in the 40s or 50s. Is there a university or anything close by? The condition leads me to believe it is scrap...

Take it to the Antique Road Show. Maybe you will get on T.V. Looks Homemade to me whatever it is.

Bring it to Vegas and take it down to Pawn Stars. You could be sitting on a mint!

The glass piece is stamped 1918... Pretty sure it's an antique...
