[color:blue][/color] Gidday out there in stove collector world can anyone point me to information about Molitor stoves thanks dougc
Gidday Doug C, Welcome to the site Do you mean Monitor stoves? Made in the UK. There is a world of information in Stove reference library. Cheers, Jeff
Sorry I doubted you. I have never heard of such a maker of stoves, but I am no expert. Do you have any pictures? Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Regards, Jeff
I second the request for pictures, please. I haven't heard of that brand either. Maybe it's the same company that made those flaming drinks during the Russian Revolution? Cheers, Gary
I dont have capability to do didital photos yet, but i will be getting a new computer & camera soon, so i will try to use my mobile phone to get one on line asap thanks doug [color:blue][/color]
Gidday all I have taken some photos with my mobile phone, but they are faily basic. Molitor stove has a font that has a wick, & a needle valve for control. I'm not sure what type of fuel, probable kerosene or methylated spirits? The nameplate is Molitor with a picture of a windmill Hope this helps someone out there who might know about this Molitor stove thanks dougc
Well, without seeing a side view and the tank, I would guess it's made for alcohol. Just a guess, mind you...
Thanks for the pics! Well I still don't know anything. But what i do know is it looks a lot like a Turm 38 stove. But also looks like a Desca. Or even a Svea 1239/Izi stove for that matter. But I think it is German. Molitor being a German surname. The windmill is German like. Turm was made in West Germany. Turm's trademark was a lighthouse. We may be looking at a East Germany copy. I am not sure about any of this. just my thoughts Sorry Regards, Jeff
I'm with Steve and Jeff on this one - it looks like a gravity-fed alcohol stove to me. Probably wouldn't take too much to have it looking nice and working well - good find!

I have a pressure lantern marked with this same Molitor logo. This lantern is also marked as a HASAG 102 and from the style was made in the 1920s to early 1930s. This means that Molitor is a retail brand rather than a manufacturer. ::Neil::
I've just bought one of the same brand - I'll get back with pictures when I get it. Neil wrote: Searching Lampguild there was also a picture of an Otto Müller Wunderlampe - also marked "Molitor" So I looked at my Otto Müller Augusta 20'' "Matador" - and here's a certain match: Stove logo and logo on flame spreader are identical! So, Neil - where's the connection between Otto Müller and HASAG?
I have no idea who Otto Müller was. Not a name or brand I know at all. Molitor appears on a HASAG model 1102 lantern in my collection. What may be of some interest is that I am by no means certain the lantern was actually made by Hugo Schneider. It is a near certainty that HASAG model 100 is in fact a Nulite 100 Storm King lantern imported from the US from about 1918 to about 1923 or so. So model 102 may be US made or very possibly a HASAG modification of a Nulite Storm King. So I can establish a connection between National Stamping and Electric in Chicago and Hugo Schneider in Germany and I know from my lantern that Molitor was a brand used by a Retailer of HASAG product but that is as far as I can go right now. ::Neil::
