Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
And if you have two, I'll have the other one (as long as it's complete with its little plastic bits. 
)
)
There was one on eBay not too long ago ~ follow 
).
You can get the little red bits (the filler and fuel measurement bits) from the Optimus specialist parts dealer - who's name has completely escaped me for the moment! I got two of the filler/plugs as the one I bought with my Trapper was on its last legs...
These are wonderful bits of kit - truly the apogee of meths cookers.

Nope, just got the two now, one to use, one unlit. I've had a few over the years and in terms of burner and simmer control they are the king of meths cooksets, better than my beloved Trangia even; just not as compact and you can't pack a kettle with them.
Base-camp sell the safety pourer and measuring piece (or did).
Chris Townsend commented (IIRC) that you can roll them down a hill without spilling fuel.
The old Gloy's Heatpal use something along the same lines (but not the same)
I've pictures of the Trapper somewhere, if I can find them I'll post if anyone wants to look.
