1829 is just the model number, kerosene wasn't even invented yet ;~)
The kerosene stoves seldom date before the 1880's, and modern versions
are still in production. Their first use was for heating cast iron sad irons, far more portable than the kitchen wood stove, they could be used anywhere in the home. Values for them tend to be modest, most in "as found" condition sell for under $100.00 at auction.
