    According to the Parasene catalogue in the Stove Reference Library, this is a Model 150 Collapsible stove in a metal box. It came with spanner, prickers and spirit bottle, still wrapped in brown paper.
    Looks like it had seen very little use, if at all, and the box is in very good condition too, just like the one @kerophile posted.
    However I think the tank stopper has been replaced at some point as it's aluminium and not brass, happy to be corrected if wrong though.
    I replaced all the seals and pump washer as what was there fell apart when I pulled the pump out.
    Dunk test proved no leaks, and it fired up very nicely, roaring very nicely with a good flame pattern, as you can see.

    Very nice find there Tim.

    As you say, looks very lightly used.

    That trivet is real neat.

    @Pharael , yes it is, apart from the finish coming off it, although I've noticed the finish comes off all of them as soon as you fire them up. At least I've got proof it looked good at at least once in it's life.

    @ROBBO55, yes was very lucky to find it. Good ones are out there, just have to look for them or wait for them to surface.

    The burner head looks like a Burmos 210 stove. If I remember correctly the screw in the burner head was designed for easier access when changing the fuel yet. Also it was a patented design.

    @LoveFire , it's the same Towson & Coxson burner that was used in the Burmos and a number of other stoves, from what I understand.
