@Lannigdu "Veritas?" - yes, its one of these; see also here. Looks to be in quite nice condition, a good find
Hi, a bit more infos : Contenance of the tank completely full is 2 Littres . It has 3 little things (?) on the side and indentations on the stand to secure it strongly . See pictures !! I don’t intend to keep it , so before it ends up on eBay if any member of this distinguish forum is interested to , he can PM me with an offer !!! Regards to all Alain
I had (or perhaps, still have, somewhere) one of these stoves. The brass tank is so thin you can feel it 'ballooning' as you pump it up!
Funny you say that David,because it sound and feel heavy and strong to me !? Without anything on it weights 1.100 kg !
Hmm, I wonder if the brass used got thinner and flimsier as time went on. If you click on the second of the links here:- ...you'll see Ross describes his version of this stove as perhaps a budget model and comments on how thin the brass is.
@David Shouksmith @Lannigdu I would say the same about mine. The stove as a whole has weight, but due to its size, the brass itself feels thin. Mine even had a pinhole corroded through from the inside, which I sealed with a sweated copper patch. Ian
