Tarzan # 1

an unknown picked up at a yard sale with a broke off leg, it is a "Tarzan # 1 no idea or info on what it is except it is labeled "made in Sweden" and can barely make out a "Tarzan # 1 as is so incredibly dirty; have tested it with leg safety wired in place; I know couldn't resist "firing her up" as when put a bit of clean kero in the tank to wash her out, the plunger held pressure

Am going to apply what have learned from the soldering legs tutorial

More pictures; this is an extremely dirty and corroded/well used stove and on top it has rust on top of the brass; still have not found anything on Tarzan Stoves am stumped both by my senior citizen arthritis and what appears to be iron rust deposits on the top of the canister; am loath to use anything stronger than Brasso and barkeepers helper as the markings are very worn and don't want to wear them down more than they are Suggestions and info duly appreciated.

 

Fantastic! Looks to be a brand of K.F Erikssons. That's their logo.

 

Ross; thank you so much; have been drawing blanks when have searched online; NOTHING about any Tarzan stove , now the hard part is getting her cleaned up decently......will never be a show piece but wish I knew its history and how it made it here

 

wondering about the inscription that says "strong tank" and how best to remove the (iron oxide) from the brass canister with out further defacing the inscriptions

 

Ugly and safety wired together but sure works well; perking a very large pot of coffee in about 15 minutes i let her go about 5 minutes more than I needed; flame pattern pretty ugly BUT puts out a lot of heat ; now just to make her pretty and improve the flame pattern.

 

Wonders never cease. When you think you've seen them all, along comes Tarzan....!

I wonder if they paid royalties to Edgar Rice Burroughs....doubt it somehow.

 

A funny thing is that the latest Tarzan also is made in Sweden!

Wow. That's a cool old stove. Don't clean it too much more I like the look it had now.

 

I'll be seeing it soon. It's getting mixed reviews with some pretty good ones, too.

I read all the Tarzan books as a kid; all of Burroughs, in fact. This was before the wave of paperback re-issues in the mid-60s; I used to haunt the used bookstores for the old hardbacks.

 

was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of heat it puts out; that was a 20 cup pot of coffee it brewed; didn't time it but subjectively faster than on the regular gas kitchen stove
