It looks like a roller thing that they use to make sheet metal.

Not specifically. But it can heat a lot of water.

Giant soup cooker?

LOL I'm sure that's not it because I know how they cook the soup at Campbell's and that's not how. But if I don't guess, that will be it!

An industrial condenser?

An industrial condenser?

Way off. This has some historical significance.

Is it anything to do with the prohibition era?

No, 30-ish years later.

Of sorts, but that would be very misleading. So...wrong path.

 

[Mama]

Is it used to pasteurize milk?

A still?

Nope and nope.

One more hint (which I have given many), and I will sit back and see if anyone can connect the dots.

Guess that puts me out. The only seafood nickname I know is Charley Tuna.

So it was a nickname, but it had nothing to do with what this thing is.

Can heat water but not a water heater,

Historical significance from the 50s~60s

Contains fuel but is not a fuel container

And has a sea food nick name (this is the least helpful)


I would guess a nuclear reactor.
