Hi Jean it was a few years ago brand new on E-bay and no one else bid
it was listed under motorcycle accessories and not under stoves
I only came across it by chance looking for some saddle bag/panniers for my bike and couldn't refuse
tank's i find one !! but his name is border bomb !!! before to buy i have to ask you you never have problems with it ?
sorry for the tread
Wish I could say that my grandfather gave it to me on his deathbed, but it's brand new, (Oswald Bailey, about a tenner).
I've been meaning to get a pot for a LONG time, well just had a quick look on amazon and got one of these for £6.99.

my apologies for thread side step as well just hope it's a bushcrafty enough reply
They've always been lovingly referred to as Borde bombs being full of petrol and red-hot with no pressure relief but after dozens of firings I've had no problems. my tips :- I use Panel Wipe as fuel, 3/4 fill the stove to allow for air expansion to pressurize it ,or at least open it then close before each use to allow some air in.
I screw open the star burner plate, which is threaded at the top and has a point at the other end which fits into a jet hole on the pipe coil, tip the stove till fuel comes out then screw it back shut then heat the coil pipe and burner plate with a cooks gas blow torch. I use one of these to prime light all my stoves. Photo of blowtorch in front of Coleman 1946 petrol stove again running on panel wipe
The cooks torch has a windproof turbo jet flame lights with a click of the button and burns at any angle and is good for Creme Brulee. After 10 to 15 seconds I screw open the burner plate a little to see if the fuel is burning as a gas under pressure and keep the torch on until it is, then adjust the flame to a steady blue with the hooked silver adjusting rod.
The stove is sensitive to wind but the pan support acts as a wind shield
all in all one of my favorite stoves
cheers all Danny

I liked mine too, until one of the bails lost it's attachment to the pot. I'll either get someone to re-weld it, or drill a hole and rivet.

Nice Coleman 530.... They do chuck out a bit of heat....chuff all control though it's either on or off
I'd like a Borde but they seem a bit of a faff to use TBH... Is your windscreen the original one??? I thought they had castellation on the edge??
Now what's this one.....
Hi Johnboy the stove was BNIB and thats the windshield/pot support it came with. Now whats this one ?????????????????????? Go on any clues. Is it on Panel Wipe
cheers Danny

Yep Petrol / panel wipe.... Sort of related to to the 530...
Here's a collection from a recent canoe trip. Mine's the one on the left - I think it's a Zebra "tiffin can", basically a billy can and lid (not shown) with a handle and a spout. Very versatile

OK is it a Military Coleman M-1942
cheers Danny
Well done.....
Any ideas on this one.....
The vap tube is a good clue...
That's the Zebra kettle, the tiffin set (also made by them) is a stacking set of stainless bowls with a clamp that holds the lot together. I have both, how sad is that?

Now, that's a Kettle
Any links to where you got that please?

Sadly your best option is a Tardis followed by antique shops these days.
I developed a love of old cast iron many years ago...these days kettles particularly are a horrible price...mine is well battered with a reapired lid. A mint one would go for £60 -£100 I suspect
Looks nice on my "gypsy" tripod though
Keeps hot all day tucked on the back of the Esse too - none of that "waiting for the kettle to boil" malarky!Red

Thought as much
Never mind, will just have to keep my eyes open.Thanks for the info
Bought a few of these as they were so cute.
Planned to sell a few on the 'net, but never found out much about them, so gave a lot away last Xmas as gifts
Brilliant little design, has a built in filter so you can use loose leaf: for a better brew!!
Got about 4 more in other colours that I may move on shortly...

Well Mine arrived last week, along with a Trangia burner an cheap stand.
Just after I lit it and then put it on the patio.
I like it, only 800ml so it boils quick and packs away small.
