    Well I cleaned her up. Made one pot holder from some stainless rod. Then came the brass straightening and final polish of the stove and cleaned the pot. I LIKE this stove!

    @kerophile

    Did you ever get to see the "indestructible" wick?

    Hi Tony.

    I have never seen a Lamb wick. I have two of these small stoves, working well, so I have never had reason to investigate the wick material.

    In their 1939 Catalogue:

    https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/1939-catalogue-extracts.212/

    They state:

    “This Stove has an exclusive feature in an indestructible metallic wick which will not char and will therefeore neve require renewing”

    There is some discussion on this topic in this thread:

    https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/three-lamb-stove-burner-advertisements.36101/#post-371874


    Best Regards
    Kerophile.

    Great job getting your 123 up and going. Very nice flame shots.
    Great pictures and the stove shines like new again.

    I hope you will be able to attend the next stove gathering in WA.

    Cheers,
    Norman

    You've done a nice job with the stove. It looks beautiful. They are fun and reliable little cookers. When you have a moment you may want to remove the chain from where it's attached through the jet wrench hole and reattach it around the shank, as in this photo. [​IMG]

    Thanks Sheldon lol. Couldn’t resist. Actually I was wondering where the chain attached. Thanks

    Every other bit of the stove was perfect, it seemed like that detail should be too. I think the stainless pot support is pretty classy too.

    The pot is the original aluminum pot. Looks pretty good cleaned up. Thanks for all the compliments
