Description

 I have what I think to be, a percolator?  The bottom reads:  ALUMINUM  UNIVERSAL  L.F.&C. 291.  I've searched online and can't find any pictures that are close to what I have.  The base is large, about 5-6 inches in diameter with a wooden handle.  The spout starts from the bottom of the base with a long upward motion?!  It has chunks of wax in it that I simply can't explain.  Any info will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you, Suzannah
