    Hi, I reckon this is quite an early Op.111b stove, perhaps 1950s. You have made a great restoration and the end result is a stove fit for the next 60 years.
    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Hi, I was surprised to hear that perhaps it could be as old as the 50's, i just assumed it was from the 70's.
    I like the stove and how powerfull it is for its size, runs really well on panel wipe too.
    Best Regards
    Richard

    Hi,

    Panel Wipe is a substitute for Coleman fuel.

    Cheers,
