Description
A J. C. Higgins brand hand warmer sold by Sears, Roebuck, & Co. The warmer uses lighter fluid and a catalyst combustion consisting of a fiber substrate that burns at a low temperature without an open flame. Hand warmers are usually used in cold temperatures when work or leisure activities require more dexterous work than what gloves or mittens will allow.
