    I'm going to look at this stove on Friday & I have no idea what it is. It's pretty close & fairly cheap. Does it look generally complete? Guess on model? Thanks.

    Looks OK, I'd agree, a Primus 51 as suggested.
    Doesn't look like theres a reserve/travel cap with it though (for when you remove the burner for packing/transport, doesn't affect use), thats the only sticking point.

    Great stoves.

    You were correct, No. 51. It was a family cleaning out their deceased father's home and garage business. They had no idea what it was, and could not find the travel cap. I've ordered a seal & washer kit for it.

    Any ideas on where one might get a travel/reserve cap, and what other stoves might use the same one?

    I have not been able to get the NRV out so far.
