RE:its a spitty drinking lighty thingee...

I'm more confused now :-2

okay ... i shall put you out your confusion ...

19th century ... bargeman's companion ... tower shaped contraption ...

made of enamel ... bottom layer a spitoon ... next section which fitted onto this

was a paraffin stove ... next piece above this a goblet ... top piece a was a

candleholder ...

in other words a spitty drinky lighty thingee!
