Any Ideas On What This Is?
I should add that I have no idea. Nada. Zilch. It was at a garage sale and someone dragged it home because it was cute and cheap.
not sure, Google "cast iron woodstove steamer" and look at the images and see if that's it.
I should have mentioned the size. It's no more than \maybe 6 inches across, not very big for a steamer. I had thought of that.
I found some pictures of incense burners that are that small.
