Hi Guys, another small item from my collection.
This 1943 dated tent heater/ lamp is in almost new condition never having been lit. It comes in a tin which is WD marked, 1943 dated & maker marked 13 MB (Metal Box Company). The top of the can is marked, no doubt in order that it would be stored upright to prevent loss of the Parafin used to light it.
The wick holder is maker marked for "Sherwoods Limited"
These were not widespread issue and most likely intended for Arctic use by Mountain troopers etc.
Cheers, Ade.
