I bought this a little while back, serviced it and have been using it fairly regularly for my canoe trips through the summer, a real piece of traditional camp kit.
I think it must be between 50 and 60 years old, possibly older but made when " British Made" still meant high quality.
Here are all the component parts;tank,burner tube, spirit preheater,flame spreader, pot supports,
spanner,jet cleaner and two piece windshiled, complete with it's original tin with instructions pasted inside the lid.
It builds up into a cracking little "touring" stove, the sort of thing that cyclists and walkers used to carry
The three legs on the tank fold underneath for storage
It boils about a pint and a half of water in about 6 minutes or so outside, although it boils a lot quicker when fully shielded from breezes!
when your done, you wait a few minutes for it to cool, take it to bits and pack it back in its tin;
The tin is about 6" long by 4.5" wide and 3.25" high. the tank is 4" across, so its a compact little unit with really good heating power
As I say, I serviced it when I got it, replacing all washers seals and the pump leather, so it's a fully functioning and tested piece of kit, rather than an ornament or collectors piece.
That said, give it a polish up and you can stick it on a shelf or in a cabinet if you want.
You'll need a small bottle for meths and of course paraffin for fuel and that's it.
take a look on ebay and see what they go for ( untested-for display purposes only!)
I'm asking for £50 plus £6 post and packing
I'll accept paypal if you pay the fee's, otherwise its a cheque or postal order please.
thanks for looking
all the best
