    This is a stove I purchased a while back and just discovered again in my garage. The stove and box are labeled Fire-Lite and the box has Made in Taiwan on the top flap. All 4 sides of the box show the same information. Appears to be a Svea 123 copy and it is new and un-fired. I paid $8 for it at a swap meet as I recall. Brass tank, gold colored aluminum pot stand and aluminum cup and handle. Missing instructions but not sure if any were ever included with it. Hoping some of the Taiwan collectors can shed some light on this. I did a web search but came up empty. I'm guessing 1970's to early 1980's vintage.

    Originally Silicon Valley now in Netherlands.
    I just picked up one of these little guys from someone on craigslist. 15 bucks and I figured it was worth tinkering with or at a minimum to use the potstand windscreen on a real svea 123 I have that is missing the top part of the stove or windscreen potstand. The one I got had instructions in the box. If you need I can scan the instruction sheet for you and create a image file and upload it. Mine had everything in the box except it was missing the pot handle. I did notice the aluminum pot was a rather tight fit on the stove. I have not fired it up yet.
