A friend of mine has this old stove. Never seen one before. He says its an alcohol stove. No pump. gravity feed. Anyone on here know much about these.
I've got one of those somewhere. I know because I posted photos of it in the Reference Gallery HERE. I haven't fired it up but I'm pretty sure it runs on White Gas or Coleman fuel. It is definitely not gravity fed but uses a hand pump like this one to pressurize the tank. Ben
Thanks for the reply. I will have to find a pump for it. It must slip onto the filler cap. An old stove for sure. What tear is tours from? The 1920's? This one has the same label as yours.
Back in the day people had pumps for their lamps and stoves. Same pump. Some new sports pumps will work, also.
Definitely a white gas stove. I had fun with one last year trying to get the second burner to behave. I used my Villiers pump and then a Coleman pump. Sadly the stove didn't come with the original one. Prentiss Wabers Model 2 or 3?
So it looks like my future stove is a kamp cook special. It has the grate over the burners like mine. So these were made in the 1920's? I will get mine in a month or two when I drive over and pic it up.
PW #6!!!! I just made coffee this morning on mine. Runs on CF, though some alcohol works good in the preheat cup. These take a LOT of preheat, then are just charming.
@Majicwrench When was yours made. Tours looks exactly as the one I am getting. You say its a #6. will have to look up that one.
According to an advert the fellow I got this from, was made in 1923 Scroll down till you find #6 Prentiss-Wabers Products Co. stoves
@cooter303 , when you get it, the fill cap gasket will probably be crap (mine was), you can use a SVEA 123 fill cap gasket, yoiu just have to trim a tiny bit off the OD.
Good to know what to use for a new gasket. Being that old plus its been sitting under my friends workbench for years, It will be needing a new gasket. And who knows what else!!!
