I've seen pictures of them in OHJ but I've never seen one up close. Is the outer jacket made from sheet steel or cast iron?

I could be wrong but, I think that's an early Binford model.

Yep,
It's an old sidearm water heater. Don't know if that was what they were called in the day but I nearly bought one for the schoolbus I converted to a camper back in the '70's. The junk dealer I was going to buy it from screwed up though; he warned me that folks used to blow themselves up with those things. That was enough for me to suddenly change my mind and consider other options for heating the water.

Awesome find! I've only found them broken up, never an entire unit.

"Originally rain baths were only proper for sick people. Bathing in general was frowned upon as being effeminate and unhealthy. It was only after 1863, when a bathtub was installed in the White House that bathing began to lose its bad image."
Think about that for a minute.
