It looks to me like an early type of hot water bottle but i'm guessing...

Hard to say without a closer look at the coiled tube but self pressurising stove/burner of some sort seems likely

Probably an oil lamp of some description.

I was wondering if it were some type of older burner for a chemistry lab?

Very clearly either a Brexin or Brexit lamp depending on the number of rubs. Buyer beware!
