    Here's a pic of a cast iron paperweight/salesman's sample I found at a local flea market for a dollar. It's from Burnham makers of the Yello Jacket Boiler, it's a MINATURE internal boiler section. Anyone ever seen another??

      Aztom, thanks for the link, I figured it was somewhere near the forties, that's cool.

      It is 5" tall, 3-1/4" wide and 3/4" thick.

      It was in the bottom of a rusty tool box full of tools, the seller thought it was something used with string. Having had the opportunity to learn boiler work years ago, I knew what it was when I picked it up.
