<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NCSophie, post: 3087245, member: 14107&quot;]I went to a preview for an online auction yesterday and saw this little gadget. I was finally able to identify it as a chafing dish heater made by S. Sternau &amp; Co in the early 1900&#039;s. If you twist the knob the top opens and there is a cap on chain over a center tube. Sternau made heaters for their chafing dishes, teapots and coffee makers and the company is best known for inventing Sterno. What my husband and I are trying to figure out is what sort of fuel would have been used in this particular heater? Alcohol? Sterno? Thanks for any ideas...[ATTACH=full]293069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]293070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]293071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]293072[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
