Vintage Cast Iron Cauldron - Set Of 7

Fabulous vintage lot of 7 Cast Iron cauldrons with pumice wands. The cauldron, or container, would be filled with whale oil or kerosene. The porous volcanic pumice or unglazed ceramic end of the wand would be left to soak in the container, absorbing fuel like a sponge. When you wanted to light your stove or fireplace, you would remove the wand and hold a match to the saturated stone. The fuel soaked stone would light easily and burn for about ten minutes. You’d simply stick the torch like wand under your wood and wait for the wood to ignite.
