Wife saw this on facebook and I don't have a clue what it is. Appears to be for burning something. Anyone here know what it is?? Mike

    That's the preheating cup for a Tilley paraffin lamp. Soak it in methylated spirit (denatured alcohol), clip it around the burner tube ans set light to it.

    +1 , also used to preheat some of the kero blow torches plumbers had to heat soldering irons back in the day.
