#4 you take red whine, oranges and cinnamon and heat it up a bit. After that you put a sugar cone on the feuerzange and pour something like Stroh 80, a drink with 80% alcohol over it and light it up. Keep pouring the alcohol over the cone while it melts down in the whine. You now have a warm, sweet and strong drink for a nice winter evening. You should watch the movie Feuerzangenbowle while you do all this.
I think the expression is "If you hear hooves/find hoofprints, it's probably a horse and not a zebra" – similar to Occam's razor: The most probable explanation for something is usually the correct one.
In this case, the less probable explanation appears to be correct, therefore it's "rather a zebra than a horse".
Found in an old leather (possibly medical) suitcase. 12cm long, pincers open when red top is pushed down. ‘02406CHR’ printed on back of old card container.

"may be more zebra than horse"
What do you suppose you mean by that?

sorry – "the simple explanation", not the most probable one.
