  • Original Item. Only One Available. A very niche piece of British WWII militaria, this is a “tent heater” dated 1945, a very portable heater with a mesh cover for the wick. The top of the can is marked, no doubt, so that it would be stored upright to prevent loss of the Parafin used to light it.


    The wick holder is marked Vaporite, and the wick extender is marked Sherwoods Bham Ltd. It comes in a tin which is WD marked, 1945 dated & maker marked 13 MB (Metal Box Company). These were not widespread issue and most likely intended for Arctic use by Mountain troopers etc. A very rare piece of WWII equipment. Measures 5x3.25”.
