This is another "camp stove" my Uncle found around the same time he got the Seva 123 as well. Haven't found much info on it yet and don't know much other than that it is the No. 15 Torrid Furnace and made by the Geo W. Diener Mfg Co in Chicago
I believe it's not meant to be cooked on but rather, there would be a crucible that goes in the top where the cover is and it would be used for melting lead or other soft metal. I remembered from an episode of This Old House that cast iron sewer pipes were jointed using molten lead and plumbers had a small furnace or device for melting lead which would be poured into the joints to seal them.
