I couldn’t resist posting a flame shot to clock up the 1000th post in the thread I started nearly seven years ago! Heinze Geniol stove. ... and the Coleman Handy Gas Plant flame shots from that first post. John
I agree...most days vintage stoves/lanterns that I come across are priced very high. I got lucky with this one.
Here is one of my pressurized alcohol burners using a Svea 123 windscreen as a potstand works out perfectly.
Something common but uncommon at the same time an early 60s Optimus 111/7 prior to winning it online I was unaware this model existed I'd just assumed it was a 111T model was sold as a metho burning stove but seems more than happy on kero
Not technically a flame shot, but in the foreground is my Phoebus 625 doing its best as our go-to water boiler in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness last week. The Phoebus came to me through the Kijiji website from a generous lady in Canada who sent it for the cost of shipping. A few miscellaneous parts later it was a fully functioning unit again. Anyone know how to tell the age on one of these? It came in the square tin. A workhorse for sure. And thanks Ross for the pump cups!
Hi @Keith Rundquist i have a Phoebus No. 625, in one form of the square tin: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/phoebus-no-625.9019/ It possibly dates from the late 1940s/ early 1950s. There is a 1954 Phoebus catalogue, which includes the Phoebus No.625, in the document gallery (available to subscribers]? Best Regards, Kerophile.
It's a Nulite camp stove, I believe it dates from the 1920's, bought it for $5 at a yard sale. It was rough...Still is...lol a little feddling and it fired right up.
An unusual flame shot. While trying to track down the leak in this (quite damaged) Optimus 199 burner, I managed to get a photo of the flame eminating from the jet when the burner caps were removed (I also found the leak, as you can see as the small flame). Cheers Tony
