    Friend found in his grandfather's shed. His grandfather was a preacher and did go on a lot of missions out of the country. Made of copper approximately 2 foot long 22 inches wide 18 inches high anybody have a clue.

    Jeff, was the item found in the USA? If "yes" was it found in a "southern" state?
    If so, it is "possible" it is part of a "home" (illegal) "still" and perhaps someone gave it to the preacher for safe-keeping (and non-use). ;)

    LOL yeah it was found in the southern United States kind of thinking that to ourselves trying to figure out its double-walled. I thought anything from some kind of distillery to a humidifier to a homemade water heater I'm going to get him to send me some more pictures.
