PARKINSON'S CAVALRY BRASS & COPPER HORSE SINGER/1917
This is a very unusual piece of antique horse grooming equipment in the form of a gadget called a horse singer. That is not a singer as in say, Bono or Frank Sinatra, but as in something that you use to burn the ends of a horse's tail or mane. It is made of copper and brass, the copper part having a pressed fan shaped decoration, and as far as I can work out, you unscrew the end, fill it with fuel which is then soaked up in the wadding inside, screw it back on again and then light it on the outside where there is some sort of fabric in a long strip along the front. I think you adjust the flame with the brass screw in the handle. There is some information stamped into this screw head, which is Parkinson, 1917, Birmingham. It is in excellent condition, is quite heavy, and measures 14.5in (37cm long.

At Frockabilia / EurobiliaUK.Antiques we have one simple aim; to sell good quality antique pieces at competitive prices. .
We are located near Hampstead Heath in Central London; we sell small to medium sized pieces of period furniture and collectables, mostly items that we consider to be useful in the home as well as decorative. We hope that if we love them, then so will you. They range from the Georgian, Regency, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, Edwardian and Art Deco periods. .
Most of our items are Antiques and minor blemishes are normal due to age (Some items are over 100 years old, so perfection is impossible). All auction descriptions are honest, accurate, detailed and have many pictures, if the item has a flaw we try to show a picture so you will know exactly what you are bidding on. But please remember that there is normal wear and tear, and it is not always possible to show that. We take a great deal of trouble over transporting our items, whether they are large or small. The large pieces of furniture, which go by road, are carefully handled by expert delivery drivers and the smaller pieces are packed very carefully, with lots of packing materials - the more fragile they are, the more packing and care they receive.
