Hello Followers, Visitors, Members and Friends from Collectors Weekly, 14-06-2017, 2:30 AM

Ouf almost there for last week update finds, I hope not i've being to boring.
This is is not something you see everyday, a Belgium Heater/Oil Lamp, design by "Charles Sepulchre" Belgium.
I found this Heater/Oil Lamp on my way to work Saturday morning, at a yard sale in my neighbourhood, pretty much in the original condition, i am not so sure if it's not suppose to be a glass globe inside, it's hard to say, this metal cylinder look old, missing a few small little piece of glass, i will do more research on this piece.
Very attractive tin decoration throughout the top cylinder(2), the top part is in enamel with a nice brass rim, finish at the base by 3 claw foot
This could have being in use in some General Store or Train Station in early 1900, have some charm from the Art Deco period.

This heater/Oil Lamp stand at 33 inch by 14.25 inch wide.

ENJOY

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES SEPULCHRE, subject of the King ofBelgium, residing at 263 Rue St. Lambert, Herstal-lez-Lie'ge, Belgium, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps for Mineral Oils, of which the following is a specification.

In oil lamps,'such as paraffin lamps employed in the Open air'or subject to currents and atmospheric agitations, the main difficulty when the wind is blowing is to secure the introduction of the air supporting combustion in.an uninterrupted and regular manner, because the wind produces in the lamp a suction. toward 'the' outside which rarefies or even sometimes completely suppresses the necessary combustion air; a second difficulty consists in insuring in a regular manner the evacuation of the gases and of the air by the upper orifice of the chimney, which is likewise exposed to air currents and atmospheric agitations.

Pursuant to the present invention the burner, enveloped laterally in a closed sheath,'is fixed in a channel which is airtight throughout, opening into the surround atmosphere. This burner on the one hand receives inits orifices the whole of the air which is necessary (directly from the atmosphere) by a conduit ending in v an apparatus which brings about the admission of air, while on the other hand, being provided with its own special chimney, it carries away, likewise directly to the atmosphere, the products of its combustion by means of another apparatus which brings about a suction. The two terminal appliances act independently of one'another, and each directly on the burner, so as to produce the necessary current between them and through the air-tight channel, which traverses the burner. In order that the admission and suction appliances may exercise their functions without producing any inversions of the current, it is necessary, that they should be placed at the extremity of a long tube or conduit, simple or multiple, removing these apparatuses to a sufficient distance from the oil reservoir and from any other surface which may modify or disturb the wind; these appliances ought therefore, to be exposed in all their parts to the full influences of the atmosphere.
