Newbie here needing information

Just after information on this awesome find. My partner is really in love with it and wants to know more.

 

More photos cause it just looks good

 

It's a Hipolito made in Portugal. I don't see the model number but it's probably a no. 2. There's plenty of info here about them. They are known to be good quality and operate same as the Swedish pressure stoves. They run on kerosene only.
Welcome to CCS. Others should be around shortly with more info and be able to coach you through any restoration or answer any questions. The stove looks new enough that it should fire up easily after you get it holding pressure and the pump working.

 

Welcome to the forum Jessica.

I'm dying to know, ... where is "New Australia" ?

 

Stove Lighting instructions

 

Welcome to CCS Jessica.
It's a good stove and should clean up nicely.
Give the stove a gentle clean and remove the pump, see if the leather pump cup is there. If it is, gently massage some oil into the leather until it becomes supple.
You can then try persureising the stove .

 

Welcome, @Jessica.

There will be a model number stamped on the stove. It is a kerosene stove.

Feel free to ask for advice here.

Cheers

Tony

 

When one of the images you provided is blown up you can just make out the No 2 on the side. They make good stoves and my favourite is a Hipolito Model 0. I hope you ask for advice from the many folk here who have a lot of knowledge on fettling (repairing) them and there is good safety information on the site too.

So the addiction starts. First it will be polished up and made to shine like the sun then, "Darling, it's so lovely, we really must make it work."

Beware the pox is just around the shed, under the back steps, hidden behind the kerosene tote and will jump out in the middle of the night. It starts so simply, first with a stove or two from a bin sale and moves on to just one more and then the words, "Look honey this is one I've not seen before, don't you think we need to add it to the shelf so the first two don't get lonely?"

Beware beware, the pox is going to capture one more innocent victim.
