This is a black, metal cast, double kerosene, one-gallon water heater.  A black, metal, 4-legged, rubber foot covered, stand holds two, blue metal cylinders with turn spouts that sit on a vertical copper pipe.  On the back side of the cylinder, there is a peek-a-boo door to see inside when lit. The pipe extends out from the stand to a copper dish.  The dish holds a clear glass, 1-gallon bottle with a metal top, rim, and handle.  The bottle is inverted onto the dish.  There is a black, metal, bottle cover that is hinged to the bowl section and can double as a holder once the bottle is lifted and flipped.  There is a plate shield that separates the cylinder from the bottle.  Above the cylinders is a black, metal, circular, two-piece shield.  Mounted on the front, lower part is a tin plaque with the company name and item information.  The shield is covering a set of large, cast gears.  The top gear domes as a cover and has an oblong hole on the edge of the rim.  The brand is NEW PERFECTION KEROSENE WATER HEATER.
