How Long Have You Been Collecting Stoves?

The owner of an outdoor shop in Kew gave it to me. Had a slight issue with the spindle alignment. I had to cast the missing lead washer on the end too. Made the mould in an aerosol lid. Burns still but a bit too much flame.

 

I have been interested in collecting stoves for almost 30 days now. Discovered my deceased father-in-law's SVEA 123. The only other stove my wife and I have is a Coleman 2 burner stove that we probably bought in the mid 90's. That stove has no model number on it, just a "Made In China" sticker.

 

Started at car boots with a pocket outfit 96 with Camtors legs for £12 then I kept seeing them at antique fairs boot sales junk shops etc!
I was hooked, bought some junk along the way but some good ones too. First one in 2011 and my first visit here within days so two great discoveries within a few days!
I have 60 plus now many duplicates which I should really move on (Mainly 96s) to make space for others.
