Hello, looks like Tonnelier from Paris. His mark consisted of two crossed pieces of cutlery, a star and the letters E T. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello,
thank you very much for your reply. Where did you find that hallmark?--- Do you know perhaps, how these Burners worked. It has a lid and an 1cm diameter opening. It worked with alcohol ( Spiritus/ Alcohol a bruler) so much I know, but I think I cannot just fill it in and ignite the vapour coming out of such a big opening.
avec mes salutations
