    Well, there we go. Spirit burner. Makes more sense. Thanks for finding period illustration.

    It's not mine, it's for sale I'm afraid. A hair curling iron heater! Haha I was wondering if it was an inkwell why there were no ink stains if that was a pen rest.

    That's certainly one to watch out for

    That's for the brilliant research as always

    On the internet, they're also described as being part of a mustache curler set. Dunno if that's true (but love the mental image. So Poirot!)

    Haha a moustache curler, it'd be funny to see one in action
