Vintage Heat

UPDATE: Unfortunately this heater was WAY too dangerous so we didn't buy it. Too scary but still Oh so beautiful....
It was getting damn chilly in The Jumping Flea so i went online to score a heater and boy did i find one. Look at  this beauty. It reminded me of designs from the Amsterdamse School around the 20's and 30's. I found another one online and it had a seal on it dated 1928. I'm sure many would find it a monstrosity but I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's been kept up to date and is still running in the sellers home which we will visit tomorrow. Just 35,- euro's and the seller lives about 5 minutes from our house. WIN! The pictures below are actually from the other heater i found online. The heater we're picking up is in much better condition but these photographs were more attractive.

Hey Chris! Amazing, isn't it?!
I can't wait to see it in the shop.
Like something out of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
