Just bought a house circa 1956 and while tearing out all the old basement walls I found this. Enjoy.
I was initially thinking that I could occasionally use it to burn receipts, and other sensitive documents but it's looks like it hasn't been used in 40 yrs.
Also it appears to be leaking internally somehow. Maybe I need to check the chimney cap.
The gas was all hooked up and working when valves are opened.
My options are take it out and fill chimney with cement.
Clean it up in the hopes of actually using it for fun(not actual garbage)
Only clean the exterior for a conversation piece.

The top looks OK but the bottom looks to have been rusting for years unfortunately.
