Re: antique sleigh heater
This message is from: "Deb Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Amish in our area use heaters but they have to heat the stone itself on their wood stoves, then transfer it to the sleigh or buggy. Then you keep your feet on them or a blanket over it and let the heat radiate up to keep you warm. Caution don't wear boots that would melt. They have leather shoes. In any case the heating period is limited. Something like the hand and foot warmers that hunters use would provide more long term warmth.

If so it looks like it is for use with charcoal like you said. They call it a Clark Charcoal Heater.
