Good for a brekkie/curry/stew/goulash I think (the stove had been in store a few years, worked great but needs a bit of brasso)

Nice looking wok you got there 
I still marvel at all the stoves you have, if I had the money I think I'd be like you, hoarding stoves at every opportunity

DON'T, DON'T brasso it...
It not only takes off the wonderful patina of age but it also kills the braized joints and seals. A little lemon juice and suger paste if you must will polish it, but remember to soak in warm water afterwards to remove. Brasso is the killer of old brass stoves and getting some-one who can braize these days is very hard.
Contact me if you need bits... got a largeish amount of spares and can put you in touch with others who will have them if I dont.

Cheers for the offer GB, If I buy a really crudy old stove a soak in mild vinegar will shift most of the muck (you can use citric acid but I find that a bit harsh) and a SMALL amount of brasso won't harm the stove. I'm not one for polishing my collection but I like them clean. Instead of lemon and sugar paste try wallpaper paste and citric acid crystals, this works well in awkward places and I've got an electrolysis bath rigged which is very good.
