Citronella oil burning cannonball?

I was thinking something along those lines too.

 

[Nick]

.... no idea. Best guess would be candle or something similar to the other guys.

Does it say "Toilet paper dispenser" on it..??

 

[Warp Daddy]

Should we break it to em gently - Bill ? -------------but hey i like the inventiveness so far ?

 

[wa-loaf]

Outhouse air freshener?

 

[madman]

Think construction sites

 

[Cannonball]

You guys MUST be old. I know what it is but I never saw one in action. When did they stop using them...50s? 60s?

 

[wa-loaf]

Think construction sites

Oh right. A warning torch for before they got the flashing lights?

 

[madman]

OOPS! I Guess I gave to much

 

[Cannonball]

A insect torch or something close?

Actually, that's not what it WAS but I've seen them for sale for that purpose.

 

[billski]

Warp, this is too much fun, let's keep them going

Hints:
You wouldn't want to get too close to them. Sometimes they got left behind.

 

[o3jeff]

I would answer, but I cheated.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Too easy a clue BUT Hey good work young dudes !

Hey Cannon ball _ I resemble that ! seriously we used to set those pots out in the early to mid 60's when i was a college kid working it in the summer .
Damn stinkpots smoked like hell - hated the bastids

 

[billski]

It's a "Toledo Torch". Nobody ever stole them!
