Today I acquired...........

[Arc Tourist]

Just a 200 litre barrel of kerosene for the workshop heater, and three variable pitch bandsaw blades for the Mighty Startrite 18-V-10.....
That'll do for the time being....

Its been a good day for me. A great result according to the consultation regarding my health issue , and four deliveries today.
I acquired twenty litres of indoor grade paraffin, a set of vintage brass fireplace tools, a brass coal shovel, and an old brass bucket for coal which surprised me weighed just shy of 14 lbs.

That's a jam pan by the look of it, rather than a coal bucket.

I was thinking the same. For coal it would be a scuttle.

Fred?

The brass bucket or scuttle is for charcoal or coke.
Not coal.

The small brass shovel is for the above fuel.

The lower longer fire side companion set would be stored on a brass T stand. You are missing the horse hair brush.

The fuel, check to see if it suitable for pressure based heaters, lamp or torches. Some is not.

It should say.

Mind you I have had no issues with fuel what says not suitable for pressure units.

Yeah, it was listed as a jam pan; but you have to understand that I'm just a Tourist , and I wanted a brass bucket for coal. I've seen them listed on that well known auction site for between £24.oo to about £60.oo Pounds with the Antique or Vintage dealing vendors, but this one was offered at auction with a starting bid of ( £5.49 ) five Pounds forty nine Pence. I put in a reasonable bid, but was surprised when only one other person bid slightly above the the minimal offer. We already have an actual old brass coal bin with a steel bucket liner, but intend to use this for kindlin. Think they'll be practical and look good on either side of the iron fireplace.

I have a wall mounted brass support for the companion set which I brought from overseas, that was hand made by my Dad. After my Mother passed away and the house was cleared, I noticed it still on the wall and brought it with me for sentimental reasons; so it will be put to good use again, and surely bring a smile to my face.

Still looking for a compatible brass handled brush, but no hurry, as I'll be needing the Wife's approval.

Thanks for the tips on possible fuel issues.
