Vintage Chicago Style Hotdog steamer Circa 1940's. It was used by street vendors to sell hotdogs with a steamed bun.  

I also have a larger unit for sale on eBay - please review that listing if looking for a larger size. 

Measures: approx.

 H9-10", D9", W14.5. More of an oval shape. The base appears to be made of copper.
 
There is a removable grate inside, which is visible on pictures, but wanted to indicate if can be removed . 

Over the years it has been repaired to seal the leaks, not sure how they are now. Steamer has been in storage
for years. 

Small cut-outs on front/back bottom allow for placement on stove tops. Cut-outs have been there forever, but probably not part of original design. 

Item has been used at many family events and picnics over the years.
