    Default Italian WW1 Ration Heaters

    Hello Gents, Shown here are a photos of WW1 Italian Scaldarancio (ration heaters).
    Made in the millions by volunteers as far away as Argentina, they were so revered that poems were written about them !
    Theye were made of rolled newspaper sheets that were then cut into ~1" sections, and vat soaked in liquid paraffin wax.
    Shown is a photo of rolling instructions, a newspaper photo of the heaters being made, a heater in a stove under a mess kit, and a heater picked up in the mountains. Apparently they were so plentifull, that they can be found dropped like spent cartridge cases.
    Enjoy, IAC

    Uber cool. Something I've never seen before
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
