    Hi What kind of stove is this?

    It says CM-1945 on the container.

    Its from WW2 from my grandfather.

    Flame is yellow but burns out shortly after lighting.

    Any help restoring would be appreciated.

    Hi - welcome to CCS. If you browse the gallery you've posted this in you'll see a few others. It's a M-1942 & was made by several makers for the war effort. Used predominently by mountain divisions I believe. If you're lucky inside the pump tube you'll find some spares.

    Fettlebox also do a washer kit:
