Move over, Carrie

The "Miracle Fire Maker" manufactured by the A. Rowley Tool and Engineering Company, Green Lake, Wisconsin.  It's basically a small squirrel-cage fan operated by a dry-cell battery to produce a stream of air to stoke a fire.  I found this one at a yard sale where I experienced little difficulty in deciding to buy it.  This company made other novelties like the "Village Blacksmith." (found at The National Museum of Play.)
