Found this font and burner today at a flea market. As you can see when next to a $1 bill the item is huge. It is made of cast iron. It is marked C.O. & G.S. Co. (?) Gardner, MA USA. It looks as though it would fit into a housing, such as locomotive headlight or ship running light. If anyone has any suggestions please share them with me.

Hi, it is a sad iron heater, unfortunately it is missing its stand, found one metal detecting once...

I concur with mrcolorz. The "chimney" on which the sad iron would sit is missing. You could call this a "sad" iron heater.

Your idea of it being used in some sort of large lamp makes good sense. It could be easily removed and serviced as it is self-contained.
