[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 508804, member: 360"]I bought this today from the local flea-market. I don't know a damn thing about it except what the dealer told me. Apparently it's a Victorian-era copper or brass hand-warmer or hot-water bottle, large enough to be shared by two people. I've tested it. It's certainly watertight, that much is confirmed!

It has the word "TURBINE" in an upwards-curving format, with "THE" underneath it. I've NEVER seen anything like this. I'm willing to bet most people haven't.
