    Hi,

    I recently found my old Benzin Baby 9063 which served me well in Europe while in and after being in the Army in the early '60s. It survived probably 50 parachute landings and thousands of road miles, and worked in all elevations and climates. It has some rust on the lid, and shows use, but is all there. It is in its original box, has all the tools and even the instructions.

    I always used gasoline in it, but wonder if other fuels are just as good, i.e. Coleman Lantern juice. Has anyone an opinion on that?

    Also, does this stove have any value to collectors? It's not for sale, but i'm just curious.

    Thanks,

    Yours in spirits,

    Coleman fuel will work just fine and a lot cleaner and therefore less maintance required on the stove. Did you post earlier, if so I think you'll find your last post also got some replies.
