    Kero Sun heater.

    Picked up a NIB Kero Sun heater (Omni 105) this past summer at a garage sale. I've never had or used one before. Finally got around to lighting it off this winter.

    Picket up an assortment of old sockets last week. They seem to have an early craftsman logo and I believe a "BE" after the name. From what I can gather they look to be from the 30's - 40's?
