I saw this stove at an antique store in Flagstaff. Cannot read the make, but it starts with "H". Looks complete and priced at 89 dollars. Does this seem to be about right. Looks to be of plated steel, so I surmise that it is WW2 vintage as Brass may have been in limited supply.
Once I saw one back in 2017, I knew I just had to have one. I think I have three now. They're not my favorite stoves, but I think they're the coolest looking single burners ever. That tank/fount is stainless so rust and stress cracks are really not a concern. Without the canister and tool, that price seems excessive to me. The parts well in the pump tube may have had some spare parts, but not enough to overcome the price for what's missing. One thing to note if you do ever get one of these or the later military stove, the M-1950 is that they run on naphtha/white gas, and do not have check valves like Coleman's, but instead have NRV's like the Euro kerosene stoves. As a result, I check, double check and triple check that it's holding pressure with no fuel making its way up the pump tube before lighting. It's not that they are unreliable, but if something goes wrong, it could go very wrong.
